Francis Poulenc - Clarinet Sonata. Third Movement

[nicpell2000]

Great performance! A few pointers would be that if you just practiced the runs slowly a little bit more because it sounds like you feel uncomfortable when playing the fast runs. Also, the ending run to the G# was one of the best I've ever heard it.

[KzRocky]

Not bad. But also it is not fine. First - piano too loud in 2-3p. And a little bit not in a manner. There should be a certain pressure, aspiration to forward

[ultimateHD]

great performance. Im doing this for my eighth grade but i hav trouble getting the notes even and fluent..

[monster9500]

@ultimateHD

I completely agree. The run of D F Ab E F is a bastard. 0:22

[AsociacionIsaacKlein]

Great. Bravo!

[TrabalRipoll]

Nice music, nice clarinetist and nice pianist. The musicality is very high level. Good. My 5 points for you

[Blackthorne369]

Guess what I'm playing for my recital?! This is totally and completely it!

[RunnerSean]

Can someone send me the sheet music for this sonata? thanks

[Blackthorne369]

Best way to find it is to go to your nearest Fine Arts library and copy it from one of their music books. That's how I found mine. If you're doing this for a class one of your teachers should be able to help you out with it. It's amazing the music some teachers will have tucked away in boxes and forgotten all about.

J'adore!  Bravo =)

[lalyshams]

Oui !

Je aussi !

Je joue ce morceau trop, c'est un morceau tres beau et vous devez avoir une bonne technique

Bravo !

[lalyshams]

what's is the temp, you're playing ?

152 ? or faster ?!

COol

[tsaokhi]

Pour moi le tempo est parfait :D

[klarinetta]

No it's more around 144 or so. For me the minimum tempo should be 160. For good example search for Michael Collins clarinet and the top vid to pop up should be this movement.

[gyermekkenek]

Well, you're wrong. On the published score, the tempo is indicated "Très animé, 144". So it has to be 144 !

[Zorn96]

@gyermekkenek You do know that there are hundreds of versions and editions of every piece, many with completely different tempos, and articulations. For example I have seen four or five versions of the Mozart clarinet concerto. Not only did they all have different articulations and tempos in many parts, but towards the end they even had different notes but same rhythm.

[gyermekkenek]

@Zorn96 : You are not talking about the same thing at all. As far as I know there is only one edition of Poulenc's sonata, and the tempo is on the score. It is not the case with Mozart's concerto, because Mozart never indicated any metronomic tempo (the metronome has been invented in 1812), and for the clarinet concerto in particular, it is in fact an arrangement of a concerto for basset clarinet. Look at the Wikipedia page about it to understand why there are so many differences...

[klarinetta]

@gyermekkenek Well many professional players play it faster like Paul Meyer and Michael Collins and I actually was at a concert with Martin Fröst where he played this movement like around 190 or even faster than that.

[cumgranosali]

exciting tempo but not so exciting performance. Your intonation is pretty instable, too high, in the moments even a quarter of tone higher (3 rd register)it seems you push the sound rather than rotating the air, without force.

[2dayfmrules]

ur piano player is a bit sloppy but ur just fine.

[musictman]

i was wondering why the backround was moving for a little bit... then it finally dawned on me that you were on a boat... ohh my.

[sezdw]

haha

[nishmanjunath]

omfg. ur tone in the altissimo register is so crazy mate. that is the shit right there

[NatNoonanS]

Stunning performance :o)

[ipmoic]

A lovely performance. Loved your tempi. The romanticism and singing quality comes through--I could have used a bit more snake-charmer humor in the finale. I especially like the Tristamente aspect of your playing in the first movement--tinged with sadness. I've enjoyed playing on the "Barge" myself. Some days are choppier than others!--but the scenery is terrific.

[rayuela23]

[xcracer2]
