@Klarinette3000 Thanks. Because of your comment, I visited your site today, and very much enjoyed the Mozart Rondo from Divertimento No.3 (K.439). Your playing is much better than mine. Beautiful tone and control!

You sound absolutely amazing! I am playing this piece for my audition at Brandon University here in Manitoba. I will always be referring to your video. Thanks. :)

Thanks. I think the compliment is a bit extreme, but I like compliments! ;-)

PiusMatthias, thanks. But I'm sure there are waaayyy better versions of it out there. As av1valle says above, I slurred where I should have used tongue articulation. With the articulation it's quite a bit more difficult to play musically!

[Musicsportsgirl]

yer i agree with av1valle

and also in the 13-14 bar u didnt play the e d and so on in the right octave

u went down an octave below wat it was written

You are probably working from a different transcription, Musicsportsgirl. I assure you that while I did not tongue the notes as specified, and missed a few here and there, I was playing the score as written. I was using a Schirmer book of Clarinet Solos, edited by H. Christmann, and published in 1964.

Thank you for posting this! I'm playing this and I needed a reference; this will do perfectly! You sound wonderful.

I'm using this piece for my audition for the Central Michigan Highs chool honors band. You sounded wonderful! Thank you for putting this video up!

[coldharbur00]

very good, how long have you played clarinet for?

[PiusMatthias]

Thanks for posting this! I am trying to figure out all this on my Soprano sax using the exact same transcription you are so this is a great help to hear how its supposed to sound : ) .

[Musicsportsgirl]
