  • He makes it look so easy...

  • i used to love rock and roll,but then took an arrow to the knee.i love this solo

  • @elsmokingrojo1 not funny anymore.

  • I used to be able to do a glissando on the clarinet. I was nowhere near as good at it as Mr. Green, but I know damn well it's not easy.

  • sounds like a trumpet

  • beat that, Squidward.

  • i play the sax

  • I wish i can do this some day!

  • It's not a glissando, glissando is always down (it means "falling" in Italian). Oh, and the initial trill has to last longer and be quicker.

  • @Dan474834 What is it supposed to be called then, if in the sheet music it is written "gliss"? And screw you, this is the best I've heard this solo, asshole, stop complaining about the trill.

  • @kylestyyle987 If you check out Bernstein's version, the clarinetist at the beginning does it perfectly.

  • @Dan474834 Sure, by glissing down. Wait, no, you can't do that, BECAUSE IT'S WRITTEN WITH A GLISSANDO GOING UP.

  • @Dan474834 that's because he's Stanley Drucker! He was with the NYPhil for 62 years!

  • @Dan474834 would you care to inform us of how to bend the notes upward since it isn't called a glissando. I mean. i wish you were around to tell Gershwin when he wrote it in his compositions.

  • This video is not useful, if you don't explain what you do. Thx

  • Geeeeh... He went too quickly for my liking.

  • psh......i can glissando on my trombone.....

  • @instrumentalambition its easier on brass then it is for woodwind just saying

  • @ShadowChaosKrystal Haha I know. I'm a clarinet player as well as a trombone player. I've attempted a glissando like that without any luck; I know it's hard

  • I'm learning this at the moment; that glissando is A LOT harder than he makes it sound. I'm SO jealous at the moment lol...

  • that is really good :)

  • I want 2 sound like that someday :D

  • WOW!!! FOR ALL OF THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS!! YOU'D HAVE TO BE A TRUE CLARINET PLAYER TO KNOW THAT THIS ACTUALLY DOES SOUND GOOD!!! I always wondered how to do that.

  • The very beginning is a bit rushed but aside from that it sounds great!

  • Paul,

    Everything sounds fine to me; you can be an inspiration to a lot of young players who would like to play as well as you do.

  • Sounds like a communist trouble-maker!

  • Damn. If only my clarinet sounded like that...

  • How do you get tone like that!

  • skilled!
