Re: The LEAST POSSIBLE EFFORT

I am sure I am completely of the track about what Tony is talking about but let me give an illustration of what I think he means.

A few months ago we had a guest Clarinet quartet from one of the military bands perform and do a master class at the school (which specialises in music) I teach.

They played very well. My students played and the whole experience went great.

We then had a question and answer session.

I had some questions regarding air support. To my surprise they said “there should be no strain in playing the Clarinet”, “relaxation is the key”.

I disagree with this. Abdominal muscles, to me, feel better being flexed…some force is necessary to produce the desired intensity in the tone (depending on musical context).

Force and effort are often given bad names; however, they are a fact of life and must be used and dealt with.

As I said…I have probably missed the point.

Chris.
