Question: Is the clarinet an easy instrument to play?

Author: ruben

This morning, on the national French Classical music radio station (France Musique), I heard an interview with Julien Hervé, principal clarinetist of the Rotterdam Philharmonic. He stated that he felt lucky to play the clarinet. As it is, in his words, a relatively easy instrument, you can focus basically on expression when playing it. I would draw a parallel between the clarinet and the English language. It is easy to learn the basics of the English language and to muddle through, but complete mastery of it is very hard.
Your thoughts on how "easy' the clarinet is?
