From a non clarinet player's perspective, it doesn't seem impossible... until you look at the clarinet graveyard that is this comment section that assures you that it very much is impossible

The double tonguing can be considered professional level, but I’m able to do it and no one pays me. As for the 3:32 it is actually easier than the double tonguing. Just practise it slowly and slowly add speed, and learn to play it in a speedier tempo than it actually is played in and that should help play it.

[@charlieh9894]

some advice: this score is originally for trumpet (cornet). Some stuff need double tonguing on clarinet which is really hard, plus the tempo is quite fast. Variation IV is just purely infeasible on clarinet.

[@leogarcia3028]

Of course its possible! Do any of you have the partitura that you can send me?

[@charlieh9894]

the mechanical structure of a clarinet won't allow you do that fast from a lower register note to upper register notes (i.e. B and C) which you need to press the left-hand register key. The recording of the cornet version (which i have listened for many times) cannot even do the variation 4 clearly on every single note; however, the audience can get the idea. Second, I did not say a trombone can do this.

[@usetobethemagicpillownowit9130]

Cunxi Huang i

[@Trumpophone7]

Variation 4 is supposed to be completely slurred except for the melody notes, it’s just not written in there. Also on the fast part of variation 3 it’s supposed to be slur 2 tongue 2, so both are completely possible, the slurs just aren’t put in on this video

My friend played this on Euphonium for a competition mainly for concert bands but had a bracket for the soloists and ensembles and she knocked it out of the park! I think it was during Variation 3 where you have the long lines of demisemiquavers she managed to turn the page WHILE STILL PLAYING (you have to hold the Euphonium with both hands otherwise it's too much pressure and you'll hurt your hand) and our whole band went ballistic that she pulled it off so effortlessly. She won the soloist bracket. We were all incredibly proud.

I actually loved playing instruments so much that I wanted to expand my knowledge and learn as many as possible... so I did. Within 6 months, I had passed every beginner class that my band class had for the Uphonium, Trombone, Oboe, trumpet, and i was working on trying the flute... but all good things eventually come to an end. My freshman year of high school I went into online schooling.. theres no band classes in an online school. I had to give back all the instruments I had rented because I wasn't a student anymore.. Music was pretty much the only thing I was interested in.. to this day I still wish I could have stayed in public school and achieved all of my goals like I wanted to.. I ended up just smoking weed 24/7 to fill the hole in my heart caused by music being gone forever..

I meant impossible for the clarinet lol

[@eriaduuu8918]

But the clarinet nearly always has a more complicated part than the trombone in a concert setting, so it would make sense for this to be possible on the clarinet if it is on trombone.

[@milansolomaeoin6977]

Fundamentally, the two are different instruments with different mechanics--the clarinet has (lots of) keys while the trombone only has a slide. This requires almost impossible combinations of alternate fingerings and such that just are no feasible to play at such a fast tempo.

Milan Soloma Eoin you can’t possibly be saying using a slide is easier than keys

[@eriaduuu8918]

A slide is simpler, not easier.

Me: HAH. Easy *sees **3:18**-**4:06* Me: ...uhhhh, is this possible?

The chromatic scales are doable if you only play one of the notes instead of two and interpret them as semi-quavers.

The 32nd notes without slurs really hit me hard

I play violin and my sister and friend play clarinet... *sister pulls out clarinet* Me: NO! NO! PUT IT BACK

[@thiccoatmeal6773]

I play trombone. Why am I here you ask? *idk*

[@cyborgjonny]

Var IV really hits home

As a clarinet player, to do this you need to have really clean circular breathing, clean double tonguing on clarinet, clean finger movement, and last but not least.. a bible
