Clarinet Soft


Listening to the special master class today at ASU with the Juilliard Quartet and members of the wind, horn, and bass studios reading the Schubert Octet reminded me yet again the importance of soft playing! There are lots of spots that have to be “clarinet soft” in this work, one in which you will find that you never get louder than “mezzo something” as a horn player. We must master the extremes of soft and loud; this is essential.
