I am a college student trying to master this glissando. Would you be willing to share your fingerings for the gliss? You seem to be doing something very different from most others I've seen.

[@markolesh2003]

It's mostly insanely good embouchure control and knowing how to smoothly transition between one register to the next (from the clarion range to the altissimo range and vice versa). Experiment with the higher clarion range and lower altissimo notes and how far you can bend the pitch while maintaining good tone and not changing your fingering. Changing fingering does help, but ultimately the embouchure is king for glissandos.

[@emtreloar5441]

best way to start is to get emb control, you can do this but starting on high c (thumb on f and register) and slowly try to bend down in pitch with no fingers :)

[@emtreloar5441]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z36kmouClJV2hc0 here is a really good video how to start out, but it can take months to get a really good clean gliss so best to start with just lip bends first

[@aleebrokenback5909]

Istg he goes half an octave on embouchure alone? tbh I've found that more air really helps and starting with a really loose embouchure helps for me (kinda breathing from the throat) but I also can only go like a half step down by changing embouchure (idk if its a bad thing but i can only make myself like a cent sharper by tightening embouchure)🤷‍♂

[@markorakic9705]

You need to play clarinet like 6-7 hours a day to master it,it need many techniques,just for beginning…good luck

If you've ever flown United Airlines, you probably have heard this music in their safety video or some of their advertisements. Here's the safety video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXe9lnaNls6bhMk

You should dance instead of playing the clarinet.

[@gopadosh7530]

@@mastroclarinet its because you move a lot

[@gopadosh7530]

@@mastroclarinet But good job its one of the best interpretation of rhapsody in blue that I have heard👏Amazing glissando!

[@emjay2045]

Ridiculous!!

[@Kyiubi]

why this comment ? He’s feeling whats he’s playing so It’s normal to move while playing. And thats a very difficult and excellent piece. You are saying that because youre not a musician and you don’t know what it feels to play music.

[@georg8975]

@@Kyiubi i Said this because I am an clarinetist who played this peace recently😉

bravo, ma il clarinetto sembra un po rotto

[@JeffreyLByrd]

This is what we call doing too much.

[@gabrielzahradka6454]

This is actually how the piece is meant to be played -- probably the best rendition I've heard so far, and moving like this is totally normal when one feels the music; doing this can actually enhance the playing if said music because it adds emotion and soul because while your body moves, your mouth and diaphragm and tongue and fingers instinctively know what to do. Maybe you don't know because perhaps you aren't a musician...

[@scottaaa397]

@@gabrielzahradka6454 I am pretty sure he is not disputing how well it was played lol.. I second with you in saying this is honestly by the far the best rendition I've heard myself. Yes, as a musician (Clarinetist) playing for over 30 years, I agree we feel the music and it does effect/enhance how we play. However. There are still instances where musicians are being overly dramatic because they love the attention and think they $hit Ice cream. We've all played with one of those people lol. Squirming in his chair, hunching over and his knees coming up as if he's been holding in explosive diarrhea for the last 8 hours. If you're truly a musician, then you know EXACTLY the type of musician I am talking about. You've played with at least one, where the ego's are too big to fit in their own heads. I try not to judge, but this was pretty dramatic lol. Still doesn't take away of how well he played it though! I'm just playing devils advocate and sticking up for @JeffreyLByrd because I know what he was trying to say.

[@xxkeemxx9608]

Bro just play it like a normal person

[@gabrielzahradka6454]

He's not just playing it like that for show; moving like that can actually enhance the effect of the music. Sticking the clarinet outwards like that also increases projection and helps in getting the "bright" timbre that this piece requires.
