Re: hardest passages for intonation

Author: rbell96

A few passages spring to mind.

Bass clarinet lines in the opening of Mahler 1, there tough.

Rachmaninoff 2nd Symphony - The solo, its tough for so many reasons.

Prokofiev 3rd Piano concerto - opening passage with two clarinets.

Dvorak 8 - Plenty of extremely quiet passages between two clarinets

Berg Chamber Concerto for Violin, Piano and 13 winds. There are many passages in this piece that are incredibly difficult for intonation between the Bass, A Clarinet & E flat in addition to the ensemble as a whole.

Stravinsky Rite of Spring - Rondes printanieres - E flat Clarinet and Bass Clarinet are together in a very exposed solo.

Debussy Nocturnes - Wind intonation is hard at the start of Nuages.

I am sure some more will spring to mind, will add later!
