As you can see I wrote a positive comment on this piece and someone took the time to write me back with a negative comment. I did take the time to write him and then I came back here to listen to this piece again just to see if I still liked it and guess what I didn't . . . I LOVED IT ! ! ! Keep on playing and posting and we'll keep on listening and enjoying. I wish I were half as good as you! Warmest Regards, Samantha

[coolthing21]

Beautifully played!



[ThePipachu]

W.O.W I want to play that good!

[samanthaeblack11]

I just listened to alot of different clips of the clarinet by many different people but I got instant goosebumps the second she started playing! It was sheer perfection. I love this! Hope to hear more.

@samanthaeblack11

You talk as if you have never heard a proper classical musician in your life. Which area are you from?

[calyxcorona]

the elves are still among us i see :)

[rainbowcupcake124]

wat kind of clarinet does she hav????? koolio!

[MoonlightMelody2007]

@rainbowcupcake124

In reply to your question, Emma plays a Peter Eaton clarinet - beautifully crafted, but very expensive!

[no1famous2]

I just can't begin to imagine how many cuts they had to take just to get all of those angles of her into the video. :P

[MegaChemboy]

shes a good clarinettest but shes like a robot, she plays but not musically.

[elsie998]

@MegaChemboy I agree to you in some extent but i don't believe at all she plays like a robot in the slightest. I would say that she needs to use more dynamics but she plays in no way like a robot it is flowing and smoove and it does still utilize the fel of the piece

[PIxelMikee]

Anyone have the sheet of music? Free possibly?

[MusicLvr387]

I wish i could find a proper clarinet solo of this song. Ive looked everywhere. What im playing now is like a tenor sax version and it has some stuff in lower octaves and some stuff in higher octaves. :(

[CardySam]

You are amazing!!! I aspire to be you

[SDHDrmoul]

tohle je teprv rychlost a pravidelnost

[dwajt]

@SDHDrmoul Přesně tak, ta holka je absolutně famózní.

[Keytaster]

I don't like Boehm clarinets, her playing is decent and proficient, but the sound is not good in my opinion. German system always sounds better. (of course depends on the player (lol)

[flameking01]

i luv how kinda cocky she gets going up

[Yellowcardfan1]

dumb video lol. pointless

[klarinetta]

I have the sheet music of this piece from her book Encores and I noticed that that bar 5-8(2 times 2 bar theme) are only played once here but are written twice in the sheet music. What is correct ?

[vimto321]

This is an interesting question so I did some research. The original opera has only two bars like on this recording, but Rachmaninov's solo piano transcription has them repeated like in the book. So you can choose! Maybe play only two bars with an orchestra, and play four bars when playing with piano.

[klarinetta]

Thank you very much :)

[miguelandrei]

This is the most gayish video I have ever seen!!

[lovelyaley]

@miguelandrei lol i know!

[urbancl]

IDIOT ! FAAAKE !

[daisenseiciccone]

I love this woman!! She plays gorgeous and she's very pretty too!

[XxstormieSkyxX]

really beautiful playing but she does make it seem like she is full of herself

[RedAndYellowCars]

admit it she is a bit full of her self

[xHuntedGunzPCGx]

definitely not....how do you even get that out of this video?

[lsdvine]

fuck me, who wouldnt be

[Gxdine]

=O sin palabraaaassss

[CreemeOfCheese]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G is what that was!!

[mr1sterling]

I belive this video was recorded in Painshill Park.

Surrey, England. I went there once, it iwas stunning.

[adwellopiano]

Truly the sweetest and most beautiful I have ever heard - raising a trite solo to new heights, thankyou, Emma! xxx

[clarinetlover2012]

[clarinetfanatic]

[xHuntedGunzPCGx]

[rankfrankrank]
