Re: Repertoire With High Squeals (Ab/Eb Clarinets)

Here's a thread from 2003 on the Ab clarinet. In it, I referenced a webpage for an LA scoring musician and jazzer named Marty Krystall, in which he talked about acquiring an Ab clarinet as a curiosity from the local music store out there, and mentioning the instrument to one of the film composers he was working for, only to have the composer write him a part on Ab clarinet for the movie he was scoring--101 Dalmatians, the animated feature. Supposedly the Cruella DeVille theme "Pup-pup-puppEEEES" featured an octave jump on the Ab, from high G to altissimo G (I haven't seen the movie so I can't comment on that).

Marty was one of the top studio guys at the time (since retired, perhaps?) so he made it work, and work in tune.

Marty's webpage has disappeared, so you'll have to rely on my memory as to the details (sorry about that).
