[@bernardtan5691]

4:54 to 5:24 sees the most beautiful phrase done in one breath! Absolutely amazing!

[@LondonClarinetist]

Love this video. Thanks Michael. Reminds me of why I took up the clarinet in the first place and why I still love playing it so much.

If your talking about the last tiny bit at the end. don't think negative about it you will most likely screw it up think positive and it will come out no problem. just practice it slowly with variations with the rhythm

[@alexyuwen]

The first movement of Saint-Saen's Clarinet Sonata in E-flat Major.

[@shykat2218]

What kind of ligature and mouthpiece was he using? The ligature looked like a gold Charles Bay but, I could not read the front of the mouthpiece. Anyone? I love his sound! His bottom lip stays out a bit and it certainly, does not hinder his playing.

[@skinnymozart3652]

Lynne Springer he is playing on a B40 lyre from vandoren

[@davidyoung2582]

I was interested to see your clarinet ligature during the Proms recital transmitted on Sunday evening 15th July. What is it please? David Young

[@klarinetta]

@ShinyAndTouchable Strange because he is still listed as an Peter Eaton artist.

[@JulesMElias]

Your sound is warm and touching to listen to. It is truly a lyrical sound. Is your ligature and Ishimori ? Jules Elias chamber clarinetist

[@musokid89]

Looks like a Charles Bay ligature

[@felix365clarinet]

@adam246811 haha yeh hes a great friend of mine. mateusz or math as everyone calls him has been at vcass since year 9 i came in year 7 lol. what pieces are you doing on clarinet?

[@haijyvelho]

I was at a concert he played at in Finland. He's great at what he does. Unfortunately someone had to bring their small noisy children to the concert... They played Mozart's Clarinet concerto and Beethoven's 3rd symphony 'Eroica'. Otherwise it was great but there's something about his clarinet's sound that I don't like. The parts where he played very low sounded great though.

[@doyoureally95]

Something really weird just happened, I am performing Saint-Saens sonata in a couple of weeks, and just happen to look at this video, and he plays it too :D

[@felix365clarinet]

@adam246811 i think i heard math mention that. um u have ur hands full lol. well for solo performance exam i did mozart 4th church sonata, bernstein sonata mvt 1, hindemith sonata 4th mvt, harvey's i got rhythm and weber concerto 1 mvt 1. all fun pieces but were not really a challenge. i did all of poulenc last year which has to be my favourite piece ever. I'm going to do at uni next year brahms, debussy and maybe weber 2 concerto

[@felix365clarinet]

@adam246811 yep he's my clarinet teacher. I've had him for 6 years this year. do u play clarinet?

[@felix365clarinet]

@adam246811 yeh i love robert. he is amazing. his AT does help you even though it tends to feel very uncomfortable. haha thanks. yeh I've done 3 exams so far I've got 4 to go lol. are you in yr 12?

[@nejiskunoichi0011]

What is the name of the song he performed first?

[@felix365clarinet]

@adam246811 ok sure. um personally to me i dislike the arnold sonatina for some reason. it just sounds funny lol. don't ask me why. i just started learning the Paganini caprice no 24 for next year and am learning both the saint saens sonata and my teacher said i can start looking at the debussy premier rhapsody too (yay)

[@felix365clarinet]

@adam246811 yeh i really wanted to go to that its this wednesday coming i think. but i have my year 12 styles exam

[@felix365clarinet]

@adam246811 lol a bit late. he's been and gone. he did a massive amount of things here. hey came in mid may and did masterclasses performances all at anam i think

[@saxhubdotjazz]

which clarinet do you use?

[@fernandopernas7606]

I think is a Peter Eaton Clarinet.

[@aimhighpat741]

He plays exclusively on Yamaha Clarinets. Looks like a CSG II with Hamilton keys

[@TheGuiBat1]

yamaha

[@broccolifireminecraft6367]

When it said Suffolk I was like oh my gosh I used to live in Suffolk but then I realised when the settlers came from Europe they stole European names and named random places in Virginia. lol...
