Hmmmmm...........



Never really thought about rhythm moving from one hand to the other. I usually play C, F, G major with BOTH left and right pinkies down going up (or down) because it avoids any gap in note and it would be necessary on a German horn anyway. Also I find myself using keys more from both rather than one or the other.



Odd you bring that up. Marcellus used to say that he preferred to keep technique in one hand or the other.


The piano may be a poor analogy because one moves up and down the keyboard but with clarinet it is more (in my opinion) like the typewriter. I tell students that if you move your hands around you can wind up hitting keys or part of tone holes you don't want to hit in a similar way one begins to type gibberish if one's hand or the other shifts off the home key position.



Maybe Marcellus was more of pianist :-)
