 Can you help me with these notes?

I'm playing a piece for solo and ensemble called First Fantasie.
In the piece it has lines where you play 12 32nd notes in one beat.
can you give me tips on how to play this?

Wow BC21- If it isn't in a slow tempo, for most of us it would be "Half Fast", like Pete F's Marching Band? OK GBK ? Don

Thanx, Mark, Don

Play them quickly. Ba Dum Dum!

But seriously, unless you can learn to double tongue, or flutter tongue, between now and the performance, you will probably have to skip some of the notes. Not too many of us can handle tounging at 700 times per minute.

The first note is the most important, followed by any others you can handle while maintaing the rythmic flow of the piece.

You should consider a private teacher.

If you can work out what key that run or twiddle is in you could try spending some time working on the scale and arppegio in that key. I have found that helps my fluency.

Have you tried looking up alternative fingerings on the fingering chart linked to from this site? There might be an easy way out of some awkward changes.

What notes are you stuck on? some one might know an answer.

As you don't have to tongue then another problem is normally keeping rhythm correct without putting in a pulse. This is also affected by possible delays in notes speaking, and delays in the clarinet mechanism. Personally I would try and work out what the musical sense of the phrase is, where it begins, goes to and ends, and try and use these points to build up a phrase from the pile of notes you have to get through. You might be looking at a wave effect, or perhaps a background mermer. These would give you different emphesis points to a large dramatic crescendo or climatic finish.

This person is obviously a student asking a question, I dont' think they should be ridiculed! I think the fact that he/she has to practice this excerpt is assumed.

Anyway... because it is written so fast, it is probably something you can just 'fly thrugh' without worrying to much. It is probably some kind of scale... am I right?

If so, it would be wise to practice that scale until it is under your fingers and then practice the run slowly and gradually move up the tempo until you can play it evenly in the one beat that the composer has so generously provided you to fit it in!

Assuming you're not in Simple time, and not compound time. And assuming quater note gets the beat... There are:

1 quater note in 1 beat
2 eigth notes in 1 beat
4 16th notes in 1 beat
8 32nd notes in 1 beat

So if you do some math here, you'll figure out that 12 32nd notes work out to be A beat and a half :)

Hope that helps...
