Re: Different Schools of Sound, over time

I don’t think there is a county sound on clarinet any more. The American sound has evolved from many concepts of Russian, French and German sounds through the years. I truly believe that the American sound has influenced all the other county sounds over the years. I used to be able to pick out a player from England, France and Germany with ease, but not today. There are dark, bright, full, thin, big, full, small sounds etc. everywhere. Over all though the clarinet player today gets a bigger, fuller, richer tone quality then in the past. Here in America alone, you can hear every possible type of clarinet sound. We are truly the “melting pot” of clarinet sound and we’ve influenced the world just like the world has first influenced the American sound.
Leon Russianoff used to get upset, if that was even possible, when someone tried to describe the “NY” sound because there were so many diversified sounds at the time. NY had Portney, Weber, Glazer, Williams, Russo, Ducker; McGinnis just to name a few. He would ask, which is the NY clarinet sound. It was more like a universal sound, a sound for everyone and everywhere. Just listen today to the great orchestra’s around the county, not to mention the world. There is no longer a “country” sound but more like a universal sound, and many types of those. ESP www.peabody.jhu.edu/457
Listen to a little Mozart, with a Baltimore-NY-American but maybe elsewhere sound.
