Re: Kind of dumb Mahler question

You know, something else occurred to me. When you play a clarinet with the instrument perpendicular to your face, you're essentially playing it as if it were a saxophone. Saxophones, of course, play louder than clarinets (given the same degree of effort).

So that raises the question....how much of the difference in loudness between clarinets and saxophones is due to the difference in embouchure/mouthpiece angle? And could this difference be what Mahler was trying to exploit?
