Francis Poulenc - Clarinet Sonata. First Movement

[AlanTubeViewer]

Just listen to Karl Leister's performance and how he plays with paces and pauses...

[AznP3nguin]

The sneeze made me mad.

[JakeDude500]

California High School All-State Set C FTW

[Ravelcontext]

generally captures the french style and spirit

[MrZMuSiKaLyiNcLiNeD]

love the tone!

[KoRn748]

the technique is very good, but there are no emotions...it's too quick for me.

[AlanTubeViewer]

@KoRn748 Totally agree with you, he sounds to be in a hurry and not letting enough time for silences. And I miss passion here ! I would have stretched some notes in the melancholic part and I'd emphasized the syncopes during dynamic sections. He's not that much at ease in high notes and he's not flawless.

[RanDoMkId73]

4:23 Dick. Whoever it was they ruined it lol. Even though it was timed with the piano

[Humleification]

is the piano part hard?

[KzRocky]

Too loudly in tres calme. It should be much more silent, as though from afar. Poulenc wished to express dynamic possibilities of a clarnet thereby. And as it is a little not in a manner. All should be a bit more mysterious, more stranger, and there should be a small solemnity in passages.

[MarcheseCadmio88]

1:04 It reminds me "Non più andrai farfallone amoroso" (The marriage of Figaro)...

[devillauren]

Well I like this better than others ones on youtube n_n

(Hush don't let them know XP)

[blakegiirl]

Anybody have the piano part that I could look at? I'd really appreciate it!!!!!

[himrasmus101]

@blakegiirl u shd probly just buy it.

[MultiGiannis123]

@blakegiirl i have it

[ohitsjackiezhou]

THIS IS THE BEST CLARINET PIECE EVER.

It makes me so happy.

[RunnerSean]

Can someone send me the score in PDF? Or any site I can get a free copy. Thanks

[ultimateHD]

i cant get it right at the begining for some reason

[Miikeru]

Try practising really really slowly, I mean stupid slowly, then as soon as you've got it right once, begin to speed it up slowly, gradually, until can play it at the correct speed.

Of course, practise loads. :)

[ultimateHD]

im learning this piece but i cant get it right in the begining. you played flawlessly

[monkeysgobananas2012]

Does anyone know how long it would take to memorize this?

[sutphoe]

Quite a while I imagen.

I plan to start this piece soon =]

[theman9126]

u shouldnt be trying to memorize it....it should just naturally happen

my solo piece is concertino by weber and i unconsciously have it memorized and im only 14.....its not that big a deal if u play a piece enough u soon get the entire thing down by memory

[babablacksheep232]

you totally correct. same thing happened with me and mozart's clarinet concerto.

[Zorn96]

@theman9126 same here, I'm 14 and after a while of learning the mozart clarinet concerto and the weber concertino I can play large parts if not all of it by memory

[moom81]

It took me about three months. No longer than it would take to play well enough for an audience, I'd say.

[luuuuuuu9]

anyone have that partiture?

[2dayfmrules]

hmm.... how will u get bak home if ur on a boat.

[canzioster]

wow, pretty good. Nice sound, good tecnique, good pitch.

A+

[dimsimlord]

Technically flawless; you jump to the altissimo very well. I can't do that smoothly; could have used some emotion/vibrato too though.

[himrasmus101]

yes but vibrato is more of a personal thing, since it is mostly uncommon in clarinet it really just comes down to the player. Well in my teachings and understanding at least.

[Jona7hanSteele]

I'm sorry ... sorry but I have not found another person that I transport in the world of dreams with this piece after hearing bass clarinet played by theater of Venice.

I think you should try to be more passionate.

bye bye

[tomaz62]

Not enough energy in it...

[rodmaster7k]

that cough was so uncalled for

[erusarf]

enjoyed tremendously.

[rlwsurrey]

stunning played with such tuning and the technique is flawless

[aesthetic1950]

You are actually playing on a barge! Literally and figuratively floating, but not away.
