    It's double tonguing. If starting to double to tongue from scratch, it takes usually at least a year to get it to consistent fast speed. To prepare this piece took maybe two months, but that's considering I would practice total no more than once or twice a week.

    The most incredible thing about your recordings is not their technical skill, but their musical. Technical feats like these are extraordinary, but while many can play this fast, I've never heard pieces this rapid where the player is still able to maintain the piece's musicality. Often times people disregard musicality in order to show off their technical skill, or ruin the piece technically even though they play musically because they ignore the many technical subtleties. You do neither. Wonderful performance!

    • @goalexey
      @goalexey  Před 10 lety +43

      Thank you very much! Deeply appreciated. I absolutely agree. It is always a very fine line to find the good balance between showcasing the piece musically and fighting the urge to play everything faster for the sake of technique.

And then, all these great players can play this music, so what determines who the 'best' is? It's really a matter of opinion and taste.

    I just became your 1000th subscriber after listening to this.
    I used to play clarinet when I was in high school... if that means anything, and I truly did love the instrument and sought after so many private lessons and performed a lot... but I guess I just kind of burnt out when I hit a brick wall in my playing. This is inspiring in so many different ways, I might just have to pick up my clarinet again.
    What reed and ligature are you using?
    I used to love Vandoren 3.5s, but I often found that I would have one or two usable reeds within the box so I had to stock up hard on them in order to have a set of 5 usable reeds just in case.
    And I loved the BG Revelation Ligature, but a few pros told me that my clarinet looked like it was favoring innovation over "what worked/sounded best", and I wanted to know your opinion on those ligatures.
