The Woodwind Family, The Clarinet Family
In recent programmes we explored the flute, one of the oldest and most enduring of instruments. Today, we continue our journey through the woodwind family.
The woodwinds form four main branches:
• Flutes, where sound is made by blowing across or into a hole.
• Clarinets and Saxophones, which use a single reed vibrating against a mouthpiece.
• Oboes and Cor anglais, using a double reed — two blades of cane vibrating against each other.
Bassoons and Contrabassoons, the lower-pitched members of the double reed family.
Today we will look specifically at the Clarinet family, using these compositions:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – Clarinet Concerto in A Major, K. 622
Carl Maria von Weber – Clarinet Concerto No. 2 in E-Flat Major, Op. 74, J. 118
and
Gabriel Pierné – Canzonetta, Op. 19
