Dalbergia melanoxylon (African Blackwood, Grenadilla, or Mpingo) is a flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, native to seasonally dry regions of Africa from Senegal east to Eritrea and south to the Transvaal in South Africa.
Jon, you studied with Weber?!? So did I. He wanted me to come to NYC, but I just couldn't do it. I much prefer the South. Just a country boy. I couldn't wait to get back to the south. What is the orchestra of St. Lukes? I don't recall it in my years in New England. How did it get its title. You guys sound great. Your Weber quintet recording is one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing the lovely, artistic way you play the clarinet. It helps young players understand how beautifully the clarinet can shape and nuance phrases. IMO there's all too little of that in most of what I hear posted on UA-cam.
With all respect, before listening to this fine musician, I thought that he was a much younger Hugh Laurie in one of his inspired scenes. Waiting for St. Fry to appear.
Thanks so much for this video that is the best sounding A clarinet I've ever heard. I should have known a clarinet named Tosca would be the best sounding A, I ever heard. 😁Payday I'm getting one. Goodbye r13 😎
William Perry it would have been too loud to play with gut strings at the time, but reeds were added to a recorder pretty much. That was the chalemeau, then it evolved to the modern clarinet.
@@fabiodanieleguerini832 More like 1690. So it was still developing while the other woodwinds were already mostly in their final forms. In Mozart's day, it only had 5 keys (the current form has 17). Because it was still so new, not many people played it, and so many of the cities that had orchestras didn't have clarinets. That's why Mozart didn't write for them much until the end of his life. The city of Mannheim famously is mentioned in a letter Mozart wrote to his father, where he talks about their clarinets and how wonderful they sound in the orchestra.
You sort of act like you're whistling, and then you angle it at around forty five degrees and cover most of the opening with the opposite corner of your lip. That wasn't the best explanation, sorry.
that flute thing was really cool
Uh-huh . I gotta try that trick with mine .
Wow
A great teacher!
He's so adorable x3
I know, right? He's like a child. It's so adorable watching him explain everything the way he does. x3
He's like a dumbass XD
And it comes across in his playing...his simple joy in making music.

Buenas tardes quisiera saber que boquilla me pudiera quedar ya que uso la vandoren a2 y ya no se fabrica
What mouthpiece and Reed is he playing on?
Mark Bernard that’s a blue box vandoren reed along with an M30D vandoren mouthpiece. He now plays a BD5 mouthpiece with blue box vandoren reeds.
@@fernie51296 Vandoren bluebox is the reed that works the best with my Selmer .

Bellissimo suono, eccellente musicista!
Why wasn't the clarinet a standard instrument in Western classical music before Mozart?
becauyse it was invented in 1600 and wasn't a good instrument before Mozart
William Perry it would have been too loud to play with gut strings at the time, but reeds were added to a recorder pretty much. That was the chalemeau, then it evolved to the modern clarinet.
it was barely an instrument
Good question William Perry

I love his comment of "all the feelings" at like 6:18...after his short list of a couple positive ones XDD
Reeds also make excellent if expensive toothpicks.
What is the mouthpiece in this video? great sound, thanks
I was in a lecture he gave a few years ago and he said that he plays on the stock mouthpiece that came with his Buffet.
M30D.
wait how the heck did he do the flute thing
