The Ethnic Clarinet

RE: Articulation in Romania...

Author: Kat  Date:   2002-08-17 16:12 I'd need to know what specific recordings you mean. I suspect they might be those of Fanfare Ciocarlia? If so, I have NO IDEA how they do that! It's just soooooo fast... As far as glottal stop/throat tonguing in the Balkans, I do know that the Albanian folk musicians use that and not their tongue. I also know that Bulgarians and Macedonians DO use the tongue and not the throat. I've never studied with any Romanian clarinetists, so I'm completely unable to answer this question with anything other than speculation. I've heard a lot of Bulgarian and Macedonian players tongue really fast though, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Romanians tongue also. There may be some double tonguing going on. They could be "flapping" their tongue up and down across the reed to get this stuff so fast. What amazes me, possibly even more than the speed of the tongue, is the COORDINATION between said tongue and the fingers. That's hard!
