The Clarinet BBoard

Re: CAPRICCIO ??

Author: Jack Kissinger  Date:   2006-05-05 22:15 The way I learned it (from a pretty good teacher), the last two notes in the measure before the "con eleganza" are G natural and D natural. That implies, absent an error in the score, that Sutermeister intended the accidentals to carry through all octaves. On the other hand, in the measure before the "Poco rubato," the sixteenth notes, as I learned them, are D natural and B natural, which could imply that the accidentals don't carry through ... but I think, instead that there is simply a misprint in the score and the natural signs were inadvertently omitted, especially since the last two notes in the bar are both intended to be G natural! I listened to Karl Leister's recording and he plays these notes the way I learned them (well, maybe a little faster )! To add to the confusion, note the many instances where Sutermeister repeats his accidentals when he shifts octaves in a measure, e.g., the sixth measure of the poco rubato and, again, six measures later -- or maybe everyone's simply been playing it wrong all these years.
