The Clarinet BBoard

Re: Dvorak 9 question

Author: Simon Aldrich  Date:   2018-05-18 15:31 "I think the point is, rather, that we don’t." And I think the point is rather, that we do (Another high point for the Bboard. Two people disagreeing on whether they agree.) Tony, in the past you have written that on period instruments in a Mozart opera you switched to a A clarinet to avoid playing a throat F, on Bb clarinet, since the throat F is a weak, cross-fingering. Absolutely, I do the same sort of thing on period instruments. Above, you state you play the bit in question on the Bb for the sound quality. You "can make it sound better". Your choice is even based on the quality of individual notes (C is better than C#). I completely agree. My choices in the Dvorak and elsewhere are based on the same criteria. Your stated reasons for playing the Dvorak bit on Bb are all pragmatic, instrument-based choices, the same type of choices which might influence one to play the slow mvt of Shostakovich 5 on Bb clarinet instead of A, the Strauss Oboe Concerto on A clarinet instead of Bb, the Francaix Concerto on A instead of Bb. I realize this is anathema to you, but we agree Simon
