Here 11yrs later wish you kept posting I love your beautiful playing

Thank you for all the kind words, everyone! I am so happy to know that my recording of this piece has helped so many other clarinetists work their way through it themselves. I also appreciate the constructive criticism -- we are all constantly learning and improving. Keep practicing! :)

I'm playing on bass for a recital coming up, and through all the videos I've watched this is the closest to my interpretation of the piece. I love your dramatic push and pulls of tempo, distinct contrast of volume. Great job!

Just finished playing this piece for an audition and I was completely isolated. Never heard anyone play it. Your interpretation was great with the tempo changes which I didn't change as Much. The last run with the sixteenths was superb. You got all those notes in with speed. I know how hard it was for me to get down, and I actually didn't screw it up. But I messed up some of the others parts but kept moving fearlessly. I had about 10 years to work on the piece and finally got a handle on it for this audition.

I was asked to play a concert with the symphony I auditioned for! Having this piece in recent knowledge helped in my readiness to play with them.

A much more subtle approach the piece than I had ever imagined, but it works very nicely. Makes for a more honest, and much less mellowdramatic experience. Bravo and thank you.

Terrific performance.

This is great! I'm playing it for my audition for all county and this recording helped me a lot. :)

Playing this for solo and ensemble this year :) sounds like a fun piece!

It is not a happy piece. You have to create strong emotion to find your way though. You have to care and feel or know the sorrow to play it effectively.

I'm playing this for solo and ensemble this year, and if I put it on .75 speed that's the tempo I'm going lol

Sounds great! Great technicality throughout, although it feels like you are cutting off some of the sustained long notes too short at the ends of phrases. Really letting those fade off into silence will help to increase the drama this piece creates. That’s my only thing! :)

Beautiful!!

You are playing the 3/2 measures as if they are 3/4 ... they should contain the equivalent of 6 quarter notes worth of time (i.e., the whole note should still receive 4 beats, not 2).
