Mozart Clarinet Concerto Part 1

[ihateuutube]

Hey it's brave to put this up on Youtube where the other recordings of this are from the likes of Ricardo Morales, Sabine Mayer, and Martin Frost.

[ryanandblake77]

where the hell can i get this sheet music?

[folkflutist]

@ryanandblake77 ever heard of imslp.org?

[ryanandblake77]

@folkflutist iv'e herd of it. I just don't know how to get music from the site though. :(

[folkflutist]

@ryanandblake77 well, at the opening page, there is a link to go to the Petrucci music library, but you can skip that and go straight to imslp(dot)org/wiki/ and on that page there should be a search bar, or whatever it's called, and you search the piece that you're looking for, you will get a bunch of links, and then you can figure it out from there.

[ryanandblake77]

@folkflutist thank you so much!!! :D

[Ohracio1985]

Excelente ejecución del clarinetista, pero algunos instrumentos del acompañamiento poco diestros en las afinaciones y en la certeza de las melodías ejecutadas, con tonos errados.

[Ohracio1985]

De nuevo, un corno francés tocando notas fueras del tono de la pieza en 01:04 y 01:06

[Ohracio1985]

Algún violín tocando una nota equivocada produce un sonido fuera del tono en 0:20 casi llegando 0:21 en realidad en el 4to pulso del compás

[Ohracio1985]

Algún violín tocando una nota equivocada produce un sonido fuera del tono en 0:19

[DistressSignal]

Wow, actually sounds damn good for a youth orchestra. I've heard much, much worse...

[KASdKIDD]

Nice clarinet tone!

Big upps to everyone in this vid.

[reedmaids4lyf]

hard to believe there can be so much talent all in one room!

[ERiCDrAyViN]

4:17 sounds like a gremlin coughing! Well that or a smurf, they like good music!

[SanteeDrummer323]

U cant hear brass for shit.. They realy lagged it on tgis piece the clarinetist is great tho although he did forget a measure or to along the way.. Lol

[lostspirit2]

THIS IS JUST PLAY OH MY LORD ITS GOING TO MAKE ME CRY AND I HAVE GOOSE BUMPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNOW SOME ONE THAT PLAYS AWESOME AT CLARINET TOO!!!

[SunnyDeezer420]

[HypnoJimiRox]

Dude does a great job...plus hiis way into it...clarinet so rocks! Think its easy? Go try. It aint...

[rainbow8zebragal65]

woah the clarinet player sound extremly well!!

i have playing for 5 years and i am no where near that good!! lol

well he probably has been playing all his life idk haha

thumbs up if you think he is really good!

[ryanandblake77]

The clarinet is the best instrument EVER!!!!!

[pegasus1747]

I am a retired clarinetist, studied in Austria, Vienna on a Fulbright; in fact I soloed with this a the Mozarteum, in Salzburg; I think it is pretty darn good! Would I play play certain parts differently? of course, I am a different person

[idxrider]

@pegasus1747 how do you study to play the clarinet? is there different ways to play it like a guitar (you know, the different tunings and play syle)?

[IprankforYou]

THUMBS UP IF YOU ARE PLAYING OR YOU WANT TO PLAY A CLARINET!

[SunnyDeezer420]

@IprankforYou

i play it XD <3<3<3 have been for like 4 years :)

[daradidam]

i think it's awesome

[KensiPodHelp]

skip to 1:50 to see the clarinet play

[annamag95]

sorry have you got the partition of the clarinet ??? please :)

[capetohorn]

you will be a great clarinet player!!!

[juso86]

great solo!!!!

[sarahlavigne3]

Come on people, it was okay. Not that horrible.

[ShootingForBest]

3 things. horns to loud, violins not in tune, and a tad bit off tempo at sometimes.

[Warcomes01]

I loved the piece of the soloist..... But I have to say the orchestra piece was awful..... Not the player, just the piece. :)

[Trioptio]

horns overpower the orchestra

[drakebenton1037]

Orchestra was amazing. The soloist was crazy good.I seriously hope the soloist got some credit for memorizing that.

[houseandcuddy4ever]

Wow! Great orchestra piece for such young players:) Very nice! And the soloist is amazing! (:

[doubleglock187]

The distorted sound quality of this video does not help.

[repaks00]

Bravo! that one is hard to play, good job guys..

[IrishPotatoSack]

Jeez, flutes, take chill pill!

[firefoot77]

For all I feel a bit guilty saying it 'cause it's a youth orchestra, they really do suck. It'd be a bit better if it were a school orchestra, or something, 'cause after growing up with the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra, I sort of expect kids who take the time to join an extracurricular musical ensemble to at least practice their parts a few times, if only just to learn the notes. -__-

But, yes, this soloist sounds very good.

[ArtMad1]

What a bunch of trivial, nit-picky comments I see here! This orchestra is far better than many youth orchestras, probably most in fact. Sure, there are some skaty ensemble moments here & there, mainly in the loud tuttis when it's hard for individual players to hear themselves. Comes with the territory, and improves with experience. I'm sure this performance was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience. Quit the quibbling, please!

[Darthzala]

He is good, but isn't it supposed to be played on an A bassett clarinet iirc....not a Bb soprano.

[caiogflopes]

OMG, the Horns are crazy!

[shortkid26]

amazing solo!

[VitreousCut]

People are critical because that is a part of public performance, criticism makes people get better at art. They wouldn't gain the character they are trying to develop for later in life if no one ever criticises them.

[MrSouzy]

great performance for such young people!!!

[TheClarinetfan]

There's a pretty good french clarinet quartet called quatuor anches hantees. there are on youtube

[utubehalowa19]

he has a very good tone

[PurplePantsxEaterr]

im learning how to play a clarinet for marching band. im not this good yet but i hope to do better with practice!

[AmphibianStudios]

shit...a lot of you have low expectations from youth orchestras...

[spiritlifedance]

I love the way he moves his eyebrows as he play.. sounds great..

[WOODWINDtutors]

YAANH

[caiogflopes]

He's good. But he isnt playing a music. hes simply playing notes.

[Darthzala]

@caiogflopes I agree, there is a big difference between notes and music. Not enough musicality.

[34597able]

sound of soloist is great but wats with his weird circular movement the whole time?.. o and the orchestra sux

[Clarinetfreak1]

@34597able Thats what people do if they are nervous, or they do it consiously in order to not look like a statue.

[okjoe07]

toooo fast

[cowgirl14zz]

Thats really pretty!!!!! =D

[lamaspacos]

Incredible Sound

[jemmus]

It's a youth orchestra, you mean critics! Sounds damn good to me for a bunch of teens who could have just been playing Halo instead.

[riccccckkkkk]

they really suck. Even I can tell. Youtube sound doesn't help.

[Jouaniaquinta]

buaaahahahahahahahahah....da impazzire c'è!! ahahah :D

[MegaCherryLimeade]

Geese some of those notes i can't even play! but the orchestra should be able to play better.

[LandJShepard]

Fabulous job EVERYBODY!!! I loved it!

[edaclarinete]

Wow, the french horns are critical. Too loud, out of tune and they don`t know their part. There's no balance in the winds at all. What happened to the bassoons? The orchestra is way out of tune. Then again it's a youth orchestra.

The soloist has a nice sound. Watch out those high notes. The technique is good. The tempo may be a bit too fast. Just a bit though. There has to be more musicality. Don't breath on the measure before the last trill of the exposition. Keep up the good job!

[ariadneclub]

soloist good - orchestra poor == can anyone explain why is there such disproportinate number of chinese in an american orchestra ??

[dcrock116]

wow ppl these days.. these ppl are awesome!!

[xkiller1993x]

Orchestra is out of tune, at 5;20 Horn mispitched. Flutes were piercing at parts.

[mrssciencemajor]

Beautiful job soloist

[ilovejamesbondify]

I dont see what is wrong with the orchestra. Not everyone is perfect.. Just think about it .. wouldnt you be nervous???

[rverne8]

@ilovejamesbondify it's a youth orchestra true enough,

They do have some serious intonation problems -SERIOUS!

But then again, it's a youth orchestra.

If everyone in the orchestra played with the skill sets of the soloist-WOW!

[QeRobb]

go back to chinatown

[kayla1513]

it sounds like the freakin flutes are BLASTING! i'm only a 7th graderr and my band plays better than that orchestra ! greatt solloooo (:

[AnnieNo2]

@kayla1513 Is it really a competition o.O ? Music is a personal thing, it doesn't matter how good someone is compared to you.

[bluntlysarcastic]

that orchestra is terrible. fantastic soloist. terrible, terrible orchestra....

[Deannaholloway]

I love this song! I played this for my senior recital in high school....LOVE IT!!!

[edaclarinete]

@Deannaholloway Remember that is not a song. It's a piece, a concerto.

[konkerlooby]

solo is relly good but orchestra is OK:-(

[JonAugust1]

ow.......muiito bom..bom mesmo...XD

[okjoe07]

아 호른 ,,,미치겠다

[BigHugTimi]

fucking register,sounds fucking bad

[wolfprincess33]

go clarinets :D lol. wish my town had an orchestra. hes good :)

[orderkos]

I thought the horn section hit quite a few sour notes and the woodwinds were a bit shrill here and there, but it wasn't all that bad as some say!

[saxbob2006]

I have to give it to the soloist. It must have been tough playing with that joke of an orchestra. Not only does it sound like there are horn players having heart attacks in the back, they're playing so loud even while the soloist is playing. I would've turned around and asked them to be quite. "Guys, I got it from here." LOL! Soloist, good over all tone. Just a few spots that need to be drilled over and over until perfect. Doing good! :-)

[FalconiFormesable]

оркестр молодцы ))))) талантливо лажают !

[roxyrockinrolling]

woodwinds out of tune!

[theusermail]

he plays mozart of jazz style

[MrSimoneolimpio]

lindo perfeito isso q é musica

[Massflavour]

ugh string section

[ashley3scene]

Damn. I wish I could play that well for my solo I'm doing of this exact song

[Redskins1726]

@ashley3scene You should be ashamed of yourself. Calling this a song. Do you hear singing? Words? And you're a musician. Now, that is sad.

[bja111]

@Redskins1726 Oh my God, shut the fuck up. You're disgusting. Who CARES that she called it a song.

Why don't you go die?

[dkmarkdj]

Oh shit..no no no no no no no no..shut up..don't play..you are killing Mozart..

[osh0011]

oh, this camera must pick up high frequencies faster which therefore bringing that flutist....

[osh0011]

clearly the original performance was better than this recording...the quality isnt too good. couldnt hear very much emotion. i see a childish shade of blue when i hear this.

[JeanMiTarte]

oh my gosh he is a beast

[Andrei238]

WHOAA this guy is PRO!!!!!!

[catsowner123]

as a clarinet player, i must admit i was in awe!! he's REALLY good!! especially since he's not looking at the music!!

[azncrazy247]

It's the recording. It didn't come out well. I would know because I played in this orchestra for like 5 years and that azn dude is pro

[clarinetistaicm]

Qual é esse concerto?

[overlord1294]

first trill is from the top note buddy

[tecomestre]

Ótima afinação!

(O que diz Serluço?)

[RantingTrent]

WORST ORCHESTRA EVER!!!

[Giugio87]

probably is also the audio recording that is bad...but the orchestra is really really bad :/

[resi45]

@Giugio87 lol no they aren't they sound very good, its the audio that sounds bad.. This orchestra is Very good, just listen to the texture, and how well together they are.

[StevenShields29]

@resi45 No, that's the point, not only are they...liberal with their intonation, they are not really well together.

[fbcedta]

at least they are playing..why must we all be so critical.. i am sure that we all have had times that we all were not always on the mark...someone could also be very proud of this performance..

[gac214a]

admittedly they are quite amatuers like ! but I admire the intention ! They are super juniors ..!

[Music1353]

I'm playing this solo this year this is a good refrence for me

[WinnieFan12]

This orchestra is .....OMG!!

[shawannananna]

i play the clarinet and this is our adution music for my high school band it is not easy to play i give this guy props!

[nadja1316]

:-D The french horn player is speaking

[randomisnotgood]

MY EARS! MY EARS!!!

[vancouverclarinetist]

the soloist played the piece very well, although IMO he could have adjusted his part to match more closely with the original basset clarinet version. the orchestra was completely out of tune, with incorrect notes being played frequently by the violins. also, the microphone used to record this performance was of a bad quality - all i heard during the orchestral tutti was a wall of sound.

clarinet soloist: good job

[fanjiatia]

The soloist is great, but the orchestra sucks! The soloist deserves better.

[GamingVideoGameplay]

@ himrasmus101 he is eh, like 15.

you are aight, like 30

[silverbullet521]

@fanjiatia that may be so, but thats the most ignorant fucking thing to say, jerk.

[bboneDawg]

@fanjiatia you should read the discription. it's a YOUTH ORCHESTRA

[queenbunny76]

@fanjiatia Let's see you do better.

[ididntwantomakeaname]

@fanjiatia lol, you're a douche.

[shutupsasukebio]

@fanjiatia It's a youth orchestra, it's supposed to suck. And every sucky orchestra has a bamf-of-a-clarinet player.

[JonnyRakeRemix]

@fanjiatia

Hi

I am new to orchestras etc

Would some 1 please be kind enough to explain why the orchestra sucks?

to my untrained ear it sounds fine

thanks

:-)

[youngjoo2520]

@JonnyRakeRemix Slowing down and too loud

[slashess]

@fanjiatia oh god, I'm glad it wasnt just me

[dkmarkdj]

Sorry for my english..but..is tere someone who's playing together the other?? And with the same intonation? I can hear instruments at 436 and instruments at 446..take one decision please..or don't play..you are killing it..!!! I pray you..

[phantomeric44]

you may-as-well just preformed this by yourself... the orchestra is terrible...

[222131313222]

I'm working on this, for a performance at my school, hopefully it will be ready by then, its tricky.

[mmcrosbie]

While I agree about the orchestra as a whole not sounding that great here, the clarinet sounds pretty good to me. I also wondered when I heard the beginning of this performance is could it be poor quality recording and bad acoustics in the venue? (I have studied piano to grade level through Royal Conservatory of Music of Toronto. I did well in all my ear training). I don't profess to be an expert about orchestral instruments. Is this a hight school orchestra?

[mumundertheoak]

Ouch. The soloist is quite talented for his age, but I think the orchestral part might have been a little too ambitious a selection for these kids. Tuning, though ... what happened there?! Even high schoolers can tune their instruments properly!

[222131313222]

i beg to differ, im switching classes up a level because of that, my high school class is full of un-talented (no offense to them but they arent) "musicians", they don' even practice once a week (not including rehearsal), im easily first chair

[Sumeroid]

This is completely fucked up, out of tune entirely, just waste of time for people who have ears capeble of hearing more than dog barking!

[milypreetieprincess]

is it just me or is there like NO saxophone playing .. pleaseeeeeee answer me coz its fro a homework assignement and its for tmmorw

[relyt799]

probably a bit late but no.. no saxophone

there weren't saxophones in Mozart's time.

They were invented in the 1841 (50 years after Mozart's death) by Adolf Sax, so he did not compose a part for the saxophone.

It is however possible for a later composer to transpose a part for a similar woodwind instrument however, but is unlikely. Hope I helped. =D

[queralta65]

muchisimaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaas gracias por no terminar esa locura

[milypreetieprincess]

eww .. i have to liten to this for my musoc clas .. music aprreciation .. yahh right!!

[MrMrClarinet]

I am not sure exactly what the issue is but listening to this brings me great pain.

[SaxophoneProductions]

now that i've watched this video for the 2nd time it is pretty darn bad. the horns and flutes are horrible. the camera can't take it well

[SaxophoneProductions]

not perfect but excellent. unfortunately I found french horns and flutes basically ruined the beauty of the piece with the blaring. as for the clarinetist he is quite the gifted child! he made one big mistake where he chirped on a high note but even so it was finominal!

[SweetMusic223]

rofl flutes are too loud! :O

[spyderclar]

ahhhhhhhh les cuivre une catastrophe!!!!!

[keo72596]

any tips for someone playing this???

[joethemusician]

practice!

[keo72596]

im doing this for concerto competition with my local youth sumphony...this piece is amazing.

[Sharmanator55]

7:25 to 8:04 ....TOO LOUD!!!! Don't overplay

[boysmarts]

Por favor que detengan a los que tocan las trompas. NO DAN NI UNA. Pra pra.

[thepoison1627]

Flutes and french horns REALLY need to back off

but the soloist did exedingly well

he just needs to warm up his tone a bit on the high notes

[trumpet094]

I think it could be better... but it's great!! ^^

[Sharmanator55]

Oh forgot one thing...in general, Mozart needs to feel a little more like opera, a little more dramatic and playful dynamics. A lot of the parts should sound almost like singing.

[emoClarinetist]

excellent criticism

[Sharmanator55]

1. Really bright in the upper register at points, like the cadenza at 4:10, and its also noticeable when he's doing those arpeggios that start at high notes than go into low range. And it becomes soft in the low register due to little air support. The brightness upstairs is either caused by biting the mpc. or too much air. Or it could be the reed/mpc itself. Also, when you have arpeggios going from low to high, lean a bit more on the first note, it'll make your tone better.

But overall great!!

[UweeJoong]

DANGG !!! at 4:50 i cant get those ascending notes as easy as him !!! lol especially the second set xD you own man !!

[phantomeric44]

the series of four hole notes at 7:08 DON'T ATTACK THEM!!!!!!!!!

[phantomeric44]

if the french horn and flute played any louder my ears might fall off...

[Num0nic]

Even thought u made quite a few mistakes, overall a good performance considering it's a youth orchestra..however there needs to be a better blend between soloist and the rest of the orchestra. . . 7.5/10

[Kirty7]

C'è qualche errore qua e la mi sa...

[FrenkPmli]

bravo, ma niente di speciale

[bloodonthesidewalk]

grr i play clarinet pretty well but i can never stick those high notes...

oh well

practice makes perfect!!

[Silenceisbeautiful]

OMG this is great.....but the french horns and flutes are WAY too loud

[PegasoltaEclair]

OMG the brasses are too loud on the recording O_o

[MusicManTX]

umm this was a great...

Although his tone was kind of flat sounding, and some parts would sound better if he played them more legato...

but very nice over all... =p

[watermelonclarinet]

dude, he is playing this piece beautifully. if you want to judge him, put on a video of YOU playing clarinet. let's see how good you are

[MusicManTX]

Maybe you cant read, or maybe you cant see... SO I'LL TYPE IT IN BIG LETTERS, THIS WAS GREAT, ALTHOUGH HIS TONE WAS KIND OF FLAT SOUNDING, AND SOME PARTS WOULD SOUND BETTER MORE LEGATO.... Thats not judging....

How old are you like 8??? Im pretty sure im a texas all state clarinet player and I know what im talking about...

[watermelonclarinet]

hey dude, im sorry.  i just thought you were one of those people who claims to know everything about music but really sucks at it. texas allstate? damn... i can't even get into the junior symphony

[loserfish14]

Yeah so this is none of my business but wow.

Ive never seen a youtube fight be handled this well. Lol :)

[kostas83]

Толстому срочно пора худеть и учиться играть на кларнете.))

[SPYoungren]

Well, thanks all for the comments,....from the person who recorded and produced the video. The audio was recorded separately on ProTools, using 4 channels, mixed and put back to the video.

Scott

[HotSalina116]

he's one of the best clarinetist Ive ever heard!

[MusicManTX]

Listen to Julian Bliss or Sharon Kam... They are amazing. =)

[FoxFagottjunge]

And even more amazing is Martin Fröst! =)

[chaconea1]

wow that was amazing! i really enjoyed heaing you play...for i am a young aspiring musician as well and am also starting to learn the mozart concerto...i hope im as sucessful as you! :)

thank you for letting me listen,

and for a youth orchestra...IT IS GOOD!!! So please dont be hating!!!

Thanks again!

[whatsmylogin]

If you are listening to this work for the first time, I wouldn't judge the work by this recording. It's not badly played for a youth orchestra, but it's spoilt by the fact that one or two instruments are out of tune.

[veggiez2]

this is beautiful. you played this perfectly. And this is just a youth orchestra...WOW!!! this is awesome!
