[PacoLlamacco]

[bigalinwesttexas]

[TheDoorman1097]

Great complement in the woodwind section, an instrument of fantastic awesome timbre to have in an orchestra, and such a beautiful solo instrument. Woot woot!!!!!!!

[mozartiano123]

Clarinet is an amazing instrument. The low notes are simply the best thing to listen in earth

[dqSOBERqd]

@mozartiano123 And the high ones... In 3 and up to 4 octave if you can:) (I can play up to 'E' note on 4 octave) If you play high notes correctly they sound beautiful too.

[MollyXD124]

@mozartiano123 i like playing high notes, but i like listening to low notes. haha

[aaaaaaben]

すごい！

[D4tDr3wB0y]

I WANT THAT GOLD CLARINET AT 0:51!!!

[Giovachiuz]

Clarinet is the best instrument ever!!! every time a play it, it shows me something new, and if you practice a lot you don't even imagine what tone you could get...

[narutardednerd]

clarinets are so under-appreciated. They are way cooler than trumpets.

[7222Brit]

They're under appreciated because they're annoying, its like going to squeak town even for intermediates and i havent heard one clarinetist with a good tone quality outside recordings and professional orchestras. On the other hand maybe its just because i play in a high school band, i get a free ticket to sqeak town every day of my life. Just my personal Opinion, food for thought

Signed Geoffrey Smith,

Principle Trumpet

P.S. Sorry for being an a** but leave the trumpets alone

[RanDoMkId73]

Just so you know, its principAL.

[7222Brit]

cheers

[Leilaalgeria1]

nahh no good clarinetist squeaks

sooo you cant blame everyone

and

clarinets have three octives

[mestes09]

The clarinet has much more then three octaves, I am barely above an intermediate level and I can play more then three octaves

[dowling1981]

Can you play the Kernal 300?

[mestes09]

Clarinets are no annoying, they are one of the most beautiful instruments ever made. The problem is that new clarinetists rush into their playing and don't give their embochure a chance to set in so they have that squawking sound that is comparible to a dying goose. Just put it this way, the clarinets shape is made to produce an extremely dark and full tone, but that also makes it so that if there is too little or too much air pressure that squawk comes out

[MonstersNightmare]

@narutardednerd '

The world needs every instrument.

[narutardednerd]

@MonstersNightmare Yeah, but I am entitled to have my opinion on which instruments are better. The main reason I posted this comment is cuz trumpets I know go around saying they are better than clarinets.

[MonstersNightmare]

@narutardednerd

Haha I understand. For the record, I love them both.

[classiccandle27]

@narutardednerd TRUMPETS are Awesome too!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JPSclarinet]

Clarinet = the most versatile instrument!

This video epitomizes the EPIC-ness of the clarinet.

[bhav1110]

i love playing my clarinet and bass clarine:)

[Inkasuluv]

ME TOO :)

[sridg9]

[artfreaksue]

I LOVE CLARINETS!!!!

[rankfrankrank]

[dqSOBERqd]

Amazing! So fast playing!

[bhg311]

been playing for two days. I learned joy to the world. Excited to actually understand the instrument

[nejihyuga665]

this is one of my favorite instruments to play but the only part about i dont like about it is moving from Bb in the staff to a middle B natural or C.

[Aetherkings]

Oh wow, i want to be that good some day....

[dlhau]

Where's Anat Cohen..the best thing to happen for the clarinet in decades?

[jdmcoupe9112]

Can't forget about Paquito D'Rivera huh ?

[osh0011]

we all know its all about Stanley Drucker. the best thing to happen on ANY clarinet in over 60 decades

[afiqsamples]

Very artistic

[PuffsPlusWithLotion]

The video is very clever and artistically done! Good Work! :D

[HEYTUBEMAN101]

I have H Klose. its a hard book!

[sarastro1791]

Oh, the "Spinning Song"!

I arranged this piece a few months ago for four clarinets; what a random!!xxxD

[npmontgomery]

Why does every video involving a clarinet have people commenting along the lines of: 'i play clarinet its the best instrument EVER!!!!!!!!"

Really, nobody cares

[kkyle336]

if you dont care then why are u commenting on it.

[27Lorena]

i know. it's annoying. they say how long they play and how good they think they are lol.

[Mishonee]

Brava!! Wonderful! I love it. I need to tell my band director about this...

Excellent job!!

[smeatherlot]

Who is the photo of at 0:35 ?

[rankfrankrank]

Whats the name of the one playing the first clarinet? His sound is just gorgeous.

[thepauper33]

I have played the clarinet for about 5 years now and it is the best instrument ever created

[nintendo007]

I play clarinet too but I want to play violin because I love string instruments. should I continue with clarinet or what

[sirtom23]

Keep going with clarinet!!,...... how can you give that up for a string instrument..... eeww

[thepauper33]

continue it is way better than string instruments

[osh0011]

go for it. i''ve learned how to play every kind of clarinet...not very hard if you're flexible to play with good tone. oboe, english horn, bassoon, drums/percussion, bass, alto sax, tenor sax, any sax...any woodwind instrument basically put in front of me and i can play bass and thats pretty much the only string instrument i enjoy playing.

[VampireShadowpuppet]

yes ive played for 7 years i love it ^_^

[rayado612]

Bravo for the players, beautifully played.

[MrLiqouricestick]

I love this arrangement - does anyone know where I can get hold of the sheet music for it?

[Bereyoga]

muy lindo!!!

[chicozeratul]

very good!

[oldjarhead]

Thanks for a very neat view of the clarinet! How about posting the names of the pictured players so some of us don't go mad trying to think of who is that?

[curly09luv]

whats the song name?

[pianoscantalk]

it's from Mendelssohn's "Song Without Words"

[clarinet343]

I love the clarinet!!!

[andychapin23]

i love this video

[7superjoe7]

amazing

[gracieface99]

i wish i played like that.

[onix750]

the sax and oboe own my soul but clarinet is still awesome!

[ramv36]

tenor sax was the love of my musical life.....but I would have never played it had I not learned woodwind technique on the clarinet for several years first. it's an awesome gateway instrument.

[sherwinjtb]

nice! showin some clarinet love =X

[jenafaye1]

the clarinet owns my soul :)

[axeVmanVzero]

I like the picture where the guy is sticking the clarinet in his butt hole. He is showing the olny true use for a clarinet

[numerouneavsfan]

screw you clarinets rock, i've played since i was 8

[hermanbordis]

Great comment. Clarinets are cows

[orangetoes223]

[milanevasco]

I've played clarinet since I was nine; I like it a lot...

[batmankm1]

[sasquatch1625]

go fuck yourself.

[EboyInGA]

What are you doing watching this video if you don't like clarinets? Sounds pretty dumb to me

[drayguevara]

I'm sorry, but this makes me want to burn my clarinet!

[14dancingclarinets]

This is kinda interesting!

[thata82]

[roninshard]

Not saying anything bad about penguins but ... was he holding right? Oh well there's no accounting for embouchure.

[Calartian08]

Time to go practice

[violaguy1992]

I Really want to play my clarinet now so I think

I will.

[snppla]

Do you have to scroll across every picture?

[thekeepermagic]

you are great

[denzelwvu]

Love It!

[Trumpetguy95]

I like how that squirrel was playing a clarinet, it was funny. I like this song as well, thanks for uploading.

[TheOverlordDale]

Some good additions. If you ever make a sequel, you should include other clarinet deities.

-Robert Marcellus (God)

-Harold "Bud" Wright (Jesus)

-Ricardo Morales (Allah)

-Eddie Daniels (Buddha)

-Karl Lesiter (Zeus)

In addition, of course, to Benny Goodman (The Man), Larry Combs (Legend), and David Shifrin (...well, he's still really awesome).

[fortissimo25]

LOL!!!!!!

[south0park04ever1]

What, you don't think Julian Bliss is legendary?

Look him up on Youtube, he's effing amazing!

[Yanecita1986]

I love this arrangement for clarinets it sounds so cool. And it must be super difficult. This piece is originally for piano: by Felix Mendelssohn from his collection of "Songs Without Words" or "Lieder ohne wort" Op67-4. This particular piece is known as "the Spinning song." You should check it out on the piano played by Murray Perahia.

[sregor1989]

i love the clarinet.. this is my first year playing and i made first chair... i wanna play like that

[JEFFHXTrEmE]

THe guitar ROCKS!!!!!

[sazraz]

man i wish i could play like that.have been playing for just over 7 years.

[bacdraf]

That is benny Goodman at 00:56

[Miki788]

evergreens??:DI have your CD

[o0stairwaytoheaven0o]

the clarinet is pretty much the best instrument ever XD i've been playing for 5 yrs

[goavrilrules]

i like the song! the clarinet is a great instrument. i sounds so coool! i have been playing the clarinet for 4 years!

[musokid89]

I recognised a few faces in that. Is it Larry Combs at 0:32? How about Martin Frost at 0:42? and Artie Shaw at 0:56? I think 1:35 could be Guy Deplus from the Paris Conservatoire but am not sure. Who are the others?

[loofascraper]

The clarinet sounds jewish.

[BeRational]

Well, the Clarinet has been known to worship Yahweh.

[lolctusachina]

I like the pic at 3:59 and 5:21

[fivestander]

there is no 3:59 and 5:21 genious :~P

[stubs13]

it's genius

[azurefirem]

Love the picture at 00:40 and 1:56. Penguins and that one famous picture of the farmer, his wife and a pitchfork (now a clarinet).

I wish my tone was this awesome. I tell myself I must not squeak, I must not squeak, I must not squeak, but I squeak anyways.

[Appearia]

Are you sure that the artists performing this piece are called "the Clarinet Evergreens"?

For I've got a CD called "Clarinet Evergreens" with exactly the same piece (and others of course) on it, performed by the Budapest Clarinet Quintet. I had the impression that the version on my CD sounds exactly like the one in your video...

Ok, never mind that. Great vid! Thanks for uploading.

I play the clarinet, too. :)

[ilovehorowitz]

mavvaffanculo wintypes, sn clarinettista e ti assicuro, x quanto tu possa nn intendertene, ke questo pezzo è suonato benissimo e l'intonazione è eccellente, poi ke tu sia abituato all'originale x pianoforte solo è un tuo problema!

[wintypes]

argh... I want fellow musicians so bad... playing the

clarinet alone all the time is depressing... no chance

to intone pretty pieces like this one >.>

Where are all the good classical musicians nowadays?

(Oh, and really pretty video and music piece, of course ;D)

[Mattlover000]

very impressive. i really like the tone. im trying to match that tone, but i think i need a better mouthpiece

[gzsofy]

WOW! I like it very much :) I played the clarinet for 9 years!!!

[Lostguy365]

cute video and a pretty piece that really shows what a clarinet is about.

[classass]

THIS GUY ROCKS!!!

[klaxtriz]

i play the clarinet and i think its such a beautiful instrument, thanks for the vid =]

[scotchmi5t]

Thank you for posting this...its beautiful. I play the clarinet and I absolutely love the sound.

[sgrl]

Please tell me what the name of the song playing in the background is called!!! Very Beautiful!!

[pianoscantalk]

Mendelssohn - Song Without Words

[sgrl]

Thanks, Really clean playing!!

[sgrl]

All I could find are Mendelssohn's Piano books. Was this transcribed for clarinet quartet or something if so which book and Op# is this song.

[pianoscantalk]

yes, this was transcribed for clarinet choir, but I don't remember which book and opus # unfortunately.. I know this was performed by the Clarinet Evergreens, and on Amazon they have it listed as No.3, but other than, I'm not sure...

[sgrl]

Thanks

[astegraz]

thak you very very much much Tony

[russeflat13]

A great tribute for all Clarinet players. Bonades Orchestra Studies was the first I owned, and Artie Shaws method for Clarinet. Shifrin is steady.

[daisenseiciccone]

wonderful

[rconetta]

hey this is amazing. what's that recording playing? I NEED it!! David Shifrin is my idol, by the way

[ninabug06]

The picture of the clarinet stick person was from the Mississippi All State Lion's Band camp that I was at! My clarinet was part of the head. Did you get it off of facebook?

[pianoscantalk]

Wow, you must feel somewhat honored then! I can't recall where I found the picture, but I remember when I did, I thought it was so imaginative and cute that I just had to use it in this video :)

[mrbigg151]

very CLEAN playing!!! wow

[tgale867]

Finally...a video that even a trumpet player can love.

[bstuts7914]

I saw Daneil Bonade, Mitchell Lurie, Richard Stoltzman, and Benny Goodman. Where was Robert Marcellus?????

[flyingcutie]

Awesome. Everything I love about the clarinet
