    Soprano sounds like a clarinet

  • @metube168
    @metube1684 ай бұрын

    Beautiful intonation, pitch, and tone quality. When I played soprano as a joke after playing the tenor for 4 years, the soprano sounded like a bassoon from an elementary schooler player😭 Another reason why I believe soprano saxophonist are so talented when they have good tones. And also why I’ll probably never play the soprano again:’)

    There are some notational "oddities" in this piece because of the way that Musescore 4 playback interacts with certain dynamic changes. Like the soprano line in m. 20, for example. That could easily be written as a whole note instead of a dotted half tied to two eighths. But MS4 doesn't like Fp's so sometimes you have to do this to get the sound you're looking for. And the glissando's in m 47 in the soprano and alto lines being written as two eighths tied together instead of just a quarter note, same idea. Just for those of you who were wondering 😄
