Re: Frustrated in Blue

I play a fast chromatic scale to the fourth line d change my air focus from the very front of my oral cavity(as if singing falsetto) to the back of the oral cavity( as I if singing a very low note in the chest voice) and pull my fingers slowly away from the holes in a sideways motion. --now a good story: I was playing principal clarinet in a ballet orchestra years ago and we did a ballet version of Rhapsody in Blue. Three performances went great and after the third performance, a friend in the orchestra complemented me on the glissando. The fourth performance went not so well-- I got stuck half way up and had to finger a chromatic scale fast to make the high c. My friend came up to me and said " remind me to always complement you after the last performance!" Good times in those days!
