Clariperu: Robert Spring clarinet warm-up (subtitulado)

[nik5ha]

God almighty.... I wonder if he finds anything technically challenging at this point.

[FragRaptor]

5:38 AND I JIZZED IN MY PANTS.

[bige66the]

I would say he is amazing for his control and speed. Why would you say his tonguing is not amazing? His thirds? His longtones (Maybe not the high F)? Maybe he isn't being to musical, but he has a perfect tone. Martin Frost is my all-time favorite, and from what I've heard he is more musical, but honestly, how can you say this guy is not amazing? I am yet to hear a musical performance of his, as I post this comment, I will look one up now.

[bige66the]

@bige66the After watching him a few times, I feel like he doesn't put as much emotion as other performers, although he definitely enjoys playing. I still believe he is amazing.

[clargirl1]

wgisaxer can we see one of your YouTube videos?

[chaguirre1]

omg he is so good!! he is my girlfriends clarinet teacher!!!! she was the one who was so amazed by him and told me so many things about him but i didnt believe her until i saw this video!

[moncor3]

Some of this is pretty impressive technically, but on the other hand... meh. For me there's nothing worse than a musician who thinks talent is who can play the fastest/loudest/lowest/highest­, but disregards what music is about. This video just gives me the impression that you are one of these soulless show-offs. Some people may like it, but in the end, this is among the most boring musical abilities to have. Have fun!

[shaylen911]

@moncor3 You crazy? Do you know who Robert Spring is? He's showing what he does for his warm-up... chill.

[KevinAmesComposer]

@moncor3 I've seen him perform many times. He is as impressive artistically as he is technically. It's odd to me that some will criticize ones musicality based upon a warm-up routine.

[DarkLeprechaun89]

"At this point my single tongue is all warmed up"

what in the fu-

[theclarinetist]

I wonder how long this whole warm up takes!  He must be exhausted before he gets to whatever else he's working on. Very impressive though, I've been meaning to get his CD.

[allsixcolours]

I have never seen anyone who enjoyed showing off so much as you. Nonetheless, your skill is mostly apparent. It is clear to me that you can play the clarinet very well, just not in the manner you claim. I commend you for your circular breathing, which you also enjoyed showing off quite a bit. I myself may not be talented enough, nor have enough time to practice at this level, but I cannot stand such arrogance. A good overall warm up if taken at reasonable tempos.

[AZRobert1]

@allsixcolours Who are you? Are you a clarinetist? Would you care to post your name?. Do you have any idea what is expected for a musician today?

[bliszti]

köszi Robibácsi

[buffetosca]

O.O

[jonhadas]

amazing video..Does anybody know what's this clarinet?? thanx

[goateater123]

Tea's ready!

[clarinetfanatic]

I Do this warm up also!!!... though my teacher was a student of his. My goal in life is to as amazing on clarinet as he is.

[LondonClarinetist]

Please tell me your technique for circular breathing. I've tried and tried! ...and those staccatos are something else!

[piratefan1324]

That's my god fahter!

[web4pro]

Thanks Robert ! and respect ! i will try to do it every but certainly not for the moment the triple staccato at that speed ! ;-)

[romaniger]

i just wonder, what the secret behind the 3 tempos that he use, and why they have to be exact the same

[AZRobert1]

@romaniger

I use them as a way of keeping things the same all the time

[altosax314]

I zoned out and read comments during part of this video. When I started paying attention, he was doing tonguing exercises. The words that changed my life: "At that point, I feel like my single tongue is pretty well warmed up..." WTF?! Is this standard issue for classical cats to be able to single tongue 16th's at friggin 240? Disheartening! Yet another thing I didn't even know I was bad at! LOL

[nevetsatrab]

The back of the tongue sounds too low and does not shape the sound properly or provide enough focus in the middle and upper register.

[AZRobert1]

@nevetsatrab

Can you play that high, that fast, or with a uniform sound throughout like I can? Write to me you coward!

Robert Spring

[AZRobert1]

Write to me - not the list. I do not think you know what you are talking about!

[imanexpert195]

@AZRobert1 AH, its ROBERT SPRING. WHAT A GUY. You may by rated high by these geeks here, but you really have demonstrated poor playing ability to a million students. LISTEN TO YOUR PLAYING. Do you have any clue as to how pinched/odd the shape of the sound is, ESPECIALLLY IN the HIGH REGISTER?? you lack so much depth and openness in the sound...AND do you have ANY clue to how poor your intonation is??, ESPECIALLY when YOU boldly show off your extreme HIGH REGISTER???

[imanexpert195]

@AZRobert1 WE DON'T HAVE ANY REASON TO WORK ON THOSE CRAZY high NOTES ON A CLARINET!! my ears were bleeding from the awful tone/tuning...AND THE SUPER FAST ARPEGGIOS lack SOOOOO much color and depth in the tone, AND you have poor tuning, ESPECIALLY 5:25, when you got flat when you went high...

[imanexpert195]

@AZRobert1 AND when you play the klose scales....THEY ARE OFF WITH THE METRONOME!!! YOU ARE LEAVING early when you're beginning the next scale, IT IS SO HARD TO TELL THEY ARE 8TH NOTE FOLLOWED BY 16THS!!! Can't you ever tell that? AND WHEN YOU DO YOUR STUNT SHOW with the single tonguing...the tone is AGAIN pinched when you go high, and DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MUDDY THE ARTICULATION IS WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING SOO FAST???? IT even drags....

[imanexpert195]

@AZRobert1 ....and WHEN YOU DO DOUBLE/TRIPLE TONGUING ohhhhh THE TUNING IS FLAT, AND IT NEVER SOUNDS SMOOTH AT ALLLL!!! ITS SO JAGGED...AND AGAIN I CAN'T EVEN HEAR THE ARTICULATION BEING CLEAR WHEN YOU PLAY YOUR FASTEST.....AND WHEN YOU PLAY SLOW ITS ALMOST LIKE SLAP TONGUING!!!What a machine.....

[imanexpert195]

@AZRobert1 I MUST SAY you have god darn wasted THREE TO FOUR HOURS each day with that clarinet and the metronome and practice rooms. You may be praised for technical prowess and ability to imitate a machine..BUT you really have ignored everything else. Don't WORK on the technical chops and nothing but technical chops, THERE. YOU'RE KNOWN AS THE "TWINKIE CLARINETIST". Dedicated to cheapness and ego. DEAR GOD, SAVE US. THESE CLARINETISTS HAVE BEEN POISONED BY THIS MAN'S INSANITY IN THIS VIDEO.

[AZRobert1]

@nevetsatrab ... i would love to hear what you can do :-)

[MahoRoulete]

[xDiegodm]

ahaha muy bueno el tio !!!

[Loolilailey]

This video is so good and util! This man is amazing! I hope can play as him someday ^^ I must going to practice a lot ..

Thanks for this Clariperu :)

[klarinetta]

I'm not happy. I bought the Baermann complete method op.63 Third Division Edited by Gustave Langenus published by Carl Fischer based on this video and I can't find anything of what Robert is referring to. For example there are no arpeggios on page 14 only interrupted scales :(

Please could someone tell me what book he is referring to. Thanks.

[AZRobert1]

It is not the Baermann method - the Langenus method - send me your email and I"ll send you a packet.

[Sharmanator55]

@AZRobert1 What piece are you playing at the beginning of this?

[AZRobert1]

@Sharmanator55

It is a double concerto for clar/bassoon and orch by Damien Montano

[romaniger]

@klarinetta

scales and arpeggios, thirds can find at " klose celebrated complete method the staccato etude from "langenus book 3" i tried his warm up, baermann method work with higer range variety of patterns

[onecentnickel]

i played with him just of yesterday

[CURSEYH]

This guy is beast. LOL.

[yamborski]

Oh my god. What the fuck. God damn.

[bt017]

This guy is a fuc*ing monster! I'm a sax player, so what do I know? He sounds like the Michael Brecker of the clarinet!  WOW.

[xHuntedGunzPCGx]

What warm up is that in the very beginning? What book is it from?

[charmingemily]

how does he do that in 45 -60 min??

[charmingemily]

what's triple tonguing?

amazing he can single tongue at 240. But I when he said he double tongue until 240 also I wonder why he need to double tongue at all?

[chocotastic]

A little Brahms 2 at 5:24 :D

[0oTripleTo0]

WOW, ur lungs must be hugeeee!! and god gave you a super fast tongue

[xHuntedGunzPCGx]

Single tonguing at 240...ummm I definitely dont think it's possible(but nothing is impossible)....

[urbancl]

@xHuntedGunzPCGx its probally double toguing

[TrabalRipoll]

Veeeery good video!!! How is possible this staccatto!! Wow!!!! Thanks for posting.

[crazydhesi]

If this is his warm up I wonder how he sounds when hes actually playing...

[crazyjhonj]

Magnifico!!!

[ksamuraibear]

whats a trick in tonguing so fast? please help =P

[urbancl]

@ksamuraibear

train youre tongue to be fast... practice it on only one note... then the other and on and so on !

[elopewithmemsprivate]

how... is this possible?! MY MIND HAS BEEN BLOWN

[urbancl]

@elopewithmemsprivate than u should really practice more !

[katalinamoramora]

wow velocidad increible!!!

[JPSclarinet]

Dragon...Tongue...

[pedrocks1312]

Yeah, this guy really knows what he's talking about. I like how he give credit to his fingers doing the work. It's because of the fingers that everything really fall into place.

Great tone, spectacular articulation, wonderful playing. I would like to know what he knows about clearer single-triple tonguing and flawless circular breathing...

[Lui191]

grande

[JeremiahBaker2]

those arrpeggios at 170 are like clarinet porn!!! lol

[westhno]

ke clarinete me recomienda soi de chile

[lmcmusicgirl09]

wow..now that's practicing inspiration

[Clarinet16]

MAESTRO

MONSTER!

[clarinet4evristutter]

clarinet has a very wide range that's why i chose to play it and htis is very inspiring i hope to be as good as you one day

[cronida15]

Muchas gracias CLARIPERU

[uuuhmanda]

ive always wanted to learn how to circular breath. you, sir, are my hero. :D

[rmjs777]

Forget flight of the bumble bee, that piece is doable by many. If you want to hear incredibly intense clarinet technique, check out Bazzini: Le Ronde des Lutins, Op. 23 by Robert Spring

[DECCA11]

Listen Bazzini on new Decca Cd by Alessandro Carbonare....spectacular !

You can find a presentation on you tube too....

[ElineAdam]

I had a half an hour lesson from him in Belgium , he's the best. It was 3 day's, with more than 100 Clarinets, and afterwards we all played a little concert :D

Sry for the bad English :p

[foreignboy221]

that. was. fucking. awesome.

I think I'm going to cry. This was just so amazing.

[mrparke007]

This is just so awe-inspiring. Best video I've seen in a long time. :)

[KKMLandCompany]

I'm sooooooooo excited! He's coming to play with my school in a few weeks! :D (and I'm a clarinetist, so I'm like freakin out!)

He's an amazing musician. Look him up on itunes and look for Flight Of the Bumble Bee. It's freakin crazy awesome!

[Desana1991]

He was just in Boise Idaho and did a clarinet clinic that i was fortunate enough to attend. It was amazing. He preformed a version of black dog and it was crazy!!!!!!

[pierresparkler]

Clariperu - can you link to the other excercises on this video please? Thanks for the staccato one, but the others would be amazing too. Thanks

[musicianintheshadows]

Wow.. long barrel.

[toelam]

it's a pyne Ck+ mouthpiece and pyne barrel

[DTrinh09]

wow that was so high.. highest i can go is altissimo A but that's disregarding intonation and everything.. i'm probably more comfortable going no more than 2-3 ledgers above the staff.

interesting warm-up. maybe i should adopt it.. i definitely want to improve and regulate my technique. check out my clarinet videos to see what i mean on what needs working...

[yomamadude96]

damn, dude, 240 sounds like sluring but u can hear a little toung!!

[porsche911sbs]

Holy Jesus, 2:29 is SO high

[MusicManTX]

Circular breathing, breathing while playing... crazy.

[0tubachick0]

He can even succesfully triple tounge!

Saw him in concert and will be playing in a concert with his as a soloist.

[Jonathan6593]

1hr - 45mins? That's a little less than my whole practice time !

[Jonathan6593]

240 using single tonguing !?!? How is that possible ? Wow, he's good.

[0tubachick0]

He can triple tounge.

[islesclarinet]

I get the feeling that I could do this warm-up for 10 years and still never come nearly close to being able to tongue that fast....jeez

[borjabillar]

triple tonguing is like:

Ta Ta ka Ta Ta ka

2 of tongue and one with ka

[misi1979]

Excellent warm up.Just one question:how You double and triple tonging?With ta-ka-ka-ka?Can You explain?

[AZRobert1]

With a displaced accent TA ka ta KA ta ka TA ka ta KA ta ka

[crbMI]

Easy for you to say! ;)

[volleyballroxx25]

DUDE!!!!

double tounging on a clarinet

takes some skill!!! well done man!

amazing. :)... and triple tonguging!

[MICHaeLDIZZLE]

what... the... fuck

[yea12inches]

lol i've seen him do all this and more in real life but somehow this video still blows my mind!!!!!! i think he sold his soul to the devil. lol

[bakugan5743]

amazing! how is it possible

[puppydogpudding]

whoa! mista d wuz rite! he's so good! so inspired.....

[diskfighter1]

[UVERworldXD]

ZOMG HEY RANDY AND SOPHIA AND ELLIOT. lol. this is like freaky cool.

[WeeeItzElliot]

a clarinet can make those screaming high notes?

D:

everything i know is a lie! D:

[oRiGiNALLYxALiVe]

LOL.

everyone's gonna be inspired tomorrow.

[MeetRyantheWhac]

Amazing warm-up.

[powellpicc1985]

He is AMAZING, and this demonstration is fantastic. A great deal of this could be applied to any/all woodwinds.

[saxoclar]

nice technique, but the sound, ahhh.

[nickzkiller]

the high notes are insane

[oldjarhead]

Fabulous! His altissimo notes are stunning.

What kind of clarinet does he play! Looks something like a Rossi....

[overlord1294]

Dr. Spring has wonderful technique, amazing arpeggios at 170!

[hotuser2]

i wonder who can play higher and faster, he or charles neidich.

[cimbombito]

Really cool, thanks so much for this video Clariperu...and Bob is amazing!

[Clariperu]

Yes, he is a wonderful player and we are very happy to have this video with him!

[neleD]

Is this filmed during the 2008 BCA in Ostend?

[marcomazzini]

Yes!

[neleD]

cool, I was there :-)

[dabibbler]

How in the world does he single tongue at 240?!?!? It's hard enough around 120. And how does he get that double-tongue so clean?? It sounds just like single tonguing!!!

[ipmoic]

"Fetes" in the orchestral suite "Nocturnes" by Debussy and, of course, the infamous "Midsummer Night's Dream" of Mendelssohn call for speedy tonguing that may or may not be (depending on the conductor!) accomplished by single tonguing alone. Mr. Spring is nothing short of phenomenal.

[leancuisine83]

I hope to god I never need to tongue that fast! I find some of those fast scales a little excessive and same with the tonguing... but hey if you can do it, why not.

[nardiniose]

Buffet Elite?

[CapnCheapo]

Nope. R-13 greenline with Robert Scott barrel.

[NickQue]

wow.

[ibrokemyfingerbowlin]

Very interesting. Thanks!

[xcracer2]

i guess he's the only one who would need a met to go 240.

[blummy24x7]

Always a pleasure to hear Bob!!
