Being a stricly classical trained conservatory student I often end up my practice session with a selection of traditional italian music, also called "liscio", usually played by older players typical of the region where I live. The original is played with clarinet in C, usually in duo with an accordion. This music is characterized by floppy staccato and high notes with weird intonation by keeping a weak embochure and waving the sound with the lower jaw. Clarinet is often kept almost horizontal when playing to get a more piercing sound. Opposite of the "perfect sound" and good posture I practice to achieve in the classical studies, of course my teacher doesn't know that. It's a secret! He wouldn't be very happy as this kind of music is not very well seen in conservatories, even if it's not easy to master as it may seem. Like Klezmer.
(if you don't know this kind of music and are curious here are some examples)
