CLARINET

 

Clarinet is one of the last incorporated wind instruments to the orchestra, where it makes a paper very important dice to its agility, versatility and variety of very adaptable registries to situations that need. It was the favorite instrument of MOZART , BRAHMS and WEBER . It has undergone from the beginning of its construction many innovations that have allowed the clarinet player to take advantage of to the maximum the resources that it has.

CLASSIFICATION

According to his construction and loudness, one classifies in the category wood winds, family of closed tubes and simple tongue-piece.

CHARACTERISTICS

Its sound takes place when the executant introduces air through the fuze, doing to vibrate the cane. It is a transpositor instrument (with the exception of clarinete in Do ). Is written in treble (G) clef on second line, less for Bass and Contrabass clarinets to those who lately one comes to them writing in F clef on fourth line. Its section is cylindrical, for that reason it does not give eighth (with the same position of the fingers) like the Saxofón or Flauta, but one doceava; it is to say is constituted by uneven overtones that when changing of registry they give twelfth, or third natural overtone, of the fundamental sound.

It is an extremely manageable instrument of flowed, luminous and expressive sound that can interpret papers of solista or companion. It is compatible to Viola and the touched stringed instruments with damper.
