My sister is in the middle school band and just started playing clarinet. She's absolutely terrible. Videos like these actually give me hope that things will get better, and that one day I won't have to listen to that clarinet squeak every five second while I'm trying to do my homework.

I love how he is sharing his experience for playing in the orchestra. Audition is so different from playing in the orchestras!

Shouldn't be different. That is a bad concept. Then you have robots playing in orchestras. This man is a true artist. Orchestras must have people that play músic, not just "correct"

@@pablodevadderclarinete and that is exactly why orchestras in the states have trouble attracting audiences imo. Technique is way more important than anything else where as in europe you cannot even become a musician unless you have a natural musical sense to begin with. Not like that in the states.

I like how Wenzel Fuchs allows the student to move his body as he feels the music while he performs. When I was in college my clarinet professor strictly forbade that and I had to play like a statue. He said that moving your body as you play is very unprofessional.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life. For me as a bassoonist (who is for some reason watching a clarinet master class video :P), it's IMPOSSIBLE to be expressive without moving around. I think clarinet players are lucky because they have more mobility with their instrument and hence more freedom to move around. I think your doofus instructor needed to go watch an orchestra concert or two, EVERYONE moves their bodies!!!

Austin Mitchell Hi I,m an old man ! Did you ever hear Jack Brymer? He was in Royal Phil with Thomas Beecham all the Beethoven symphony's when I was studied I wore the records OUT listening.they were never released on CD I think ? He would not let me move about he said you must capture the audience with your playing NOT your choreography !, I expect I,ve. Opened up a can of worms ! D

Darryl Walters Hi Darryl. I was just brought up differently in my playing. All of my private lesson instructors for bassoon didn't discourage moving around, but rather encouraged it. I just believe that moving around can be used as a tool to help improve your expressiveness while playing. It's basically subconscious to me now. It's interesting to hear different points of view though.

Too much movement can interfere with air support. Yes, moving your body helps with expression, but I don't like Martin Fröst kind of movement. Too many do that these days.

he is pretty awesome and it truly is a master class. his analogy fits the music and his music sense is awesome. truly a professional

This is a really fantastic video. One can legitimately hear improvements in the tone and technique of the student from Fuchs' instruction. What a truly educational masterclass.

Great job Brian!!!

Yes, please subscribe for updates. We'll post Stefan Schweigert's bassoon master class soon, covering Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4 and Shostakovich Symphony No. 9. Also, panel discussions and more! You will find them in any of these playlists: -Berlin Philharmonic Master Class -Weill Music Institute -Masterclasses

Very good, I really liked it!

Much more than a professional, truly a master.

Fuchs has a great sound, especially considering he's using a plastic reed.

Interesting! Hasn't had a lot of performing experience. At least not in the context of the orchestral environment. Even though it feels as if one "blasting", by the time it gets out to the audience, what they hear is seems to them much "smaller". One learns eventually how "big" big has to be to get the listeners involved with drama/beauty/emotional that moment in the work. I know about professor's in that aspect of performing and, unfortunately, they've misconstrued somewhere along the way, that one should be a "statue". How does help feeling the passion? Check out Martin Frost, clarinetist, when he performs. A bit over the top at times, but music isn't math, it's theater. It helps reinforce what the composer is expressing and communicating to the listener. Sorry, just my take on performing.

Très intéressant....en plus de l'interprétation, j'aurai bien aimé entendre le maître évoquer le travail sur le son. En effet, le sien est beaucoup plus chaleureux que celui de son élève....normal!

Fuchs' Oehler clarinet sounds so much superior to that accursed Boehm. I've always wondered why the Boehm managed to become so widespread. It has a very harsh sound. It sounds like a toy.

@nicholasz2510

The sound is much more dependent on the player's technique and embouchure, and also the mouthpiece/reed than the fingering system.

I, an American switched to the Oehler last year, and I can say from experience that it is indeed much better than Boehm. Of course, I never tried a Buffet R13 for comparison, but I'm personally very happy with the way I sound when I play Oehler.

Why sitting ?

Bravo fa meglio l'allievo che il maestro!

master classes are really dumb cuz every player/conductor etc etc has their own interpetation and no on is right , although there is wrong ways of playing for sure...so this german guy is showing the kid what he likes however, at an audition the conductor may not like that way of playing

Justin Bieber doesn't have an eighth of musical gifting and trainig as this student clarinetist does, but who carries the millions home?

I really ... have never cared for Mr. Fuchs's sound, or that of most German clarinetists. It seems so dry? Not terribly resonant, almost as if the sound comes more from the reed than the rest of the instrument. Or something that I can't quite put my finger on ....
