    I love how you make it look so easy to play all of the notes in the clarion range and play with the best bass clarinet tone quality I ever heard. Incredible job!

    • @jacobbass6437
      @jacobbass6437 4 роки тому +15

      ꧁IceOfPhoenix꧂. A horn is just any instrument that is hollow and you blow through that has a mouthpiece. So saxes are horns, trumpets are horns, flutes are not horns. Usually in an orchestra, horns refer to french horns, but the general term applies in a lot of places.

    Exquisite! Mr. Lowenstern is perhaps the most accomplished bass clarinetist of our age. It's not just the instrument that makes his playing to be unrivaled. He would sound quite good on a plastic Bundy with leaks and bad pads. The man makes the horn. The horn does not make the man!
