As someone who plays bass clarinet, ooooooohhhh my! The high notes are so beautiful and well played! Sadly I'm always given a older bass and some just don't sound as good as they use to so playing high notes is a challenge. But hearing them sounds so pleasing
Back when I played bass clarinet in high school in the late 1990s, I was always jealous of bass clarinet students at other schools who had newer, high-end bass clarinets to play with range to low-C and the double register vent, as I only ever got to play on old Noblets at best, which only went down to Eb and only had the single register vent, making high notes very difficult. And my school was huge! Unfortunately, the football program always got way more funding!
Honestly, until I started getting into jazz I didn't even know you could do vibrato on clarinet. Now I know how to do it in theory, but in practice it's a little difficult to learn 😅.
@@dfabulous hahahah I’m a (classical) saxophonist and we do a lot of vibrato. First time I picked up a clarinet I could only play three notes but I could do vibrato😂
bass clarinet needs a lot of control in diaphragm. Even more than a clarinet which is the 2nd place kind of diaphragm control (double reed instruments rule 1st place). Kinda hard to nail those vibrato without sounding like a honking goose.
there are many reasons for it. in a secondary setting, clarinet frequency waves are square, which hides intonation issues between flute and saxophone vibrato. it allows for a balanced more in tune vibrato for the other woodwind sections.
As someone whose played this instrument since 6th grade, I can say that you have absolutely amazing control and tone quality. That's difficult to achieve with bass clarinet nice job 👍 👏
Hello @Serenalok! Because this piece was written over a century ago, it is now public domain, and you can find legal free copies of the sheet music online. This arrangement was actually arranged for "Piano and Violin or Flute" and was played on Harp and Bass Clarinet! You can download it for free here: violinsheetmusic.org/classical/work/saint-saens-the-swan/ :) Enjoy!

Gran interpretación, bonito sonido , perfecta afinación, gran ejecución, muy bien. Lo más complicado es aguantar tanta respiración en un tempo tan tranquilo, necesita administrar muy bien el aire.
Very well performed (as far as a reed instrument ignorant can understand), and a transcription that really works. The harp does a better work for this piece than the piano, the bass clarinet is a good replacement for the cello.
this is beautiful. Although I personally always find it very offputting when the musician is beating their foot in a random time that doesn't match the music, in fact I'm not sure how he does that. But it is nonetheless totally beautiful, such control
@@juliareadscottishpiperandh4861 no problem. You will notice his foot go up when his shoulders do at the same time. That’s usually the process of your chest tightening and trying to breathe In while still playing.
Belle prestation, en tant que clarinette basse professionnel, je pense que le vibrato n'est pas nécessaire pour cet instrument, la richesse de son timbre suffit largement.
That is the best tone I've ever heard on a bass clarinet. The high register sounds like a standard clarinet!
As a bass clarinet girl who still dreams of the harp, this is gold...
Considering the fact that the bass clarinet is shaped very much like a swan, this is perfect!

that control man, so smooth
There are many arrangements for this piece, but you cannot deny the quality of the playing is exquisite
Wow this is amazing. I just finished writing a cello and Bass Clarinet duet and was looking to see what other videos there are for the bass clarinet!
Top notch bass clarinetting
such a wonderful vibrato and sound!. I'm a brass player but I really want to go into reed instruments, they're just so pretty.
Beautiful tone and stunning dynamics, sounds absolutely gorgeous, makes me miss my playing days with this instrument.
that bass clarinet tone is muah, chefs kiss. its so deep and warm and rich and nourishing. idk how better it could get
Les oreilles et le cœur ne s'y trompent pas, c'est magnifique 👏🎶💓🎶
beautiful!
Absolutely wonderful. Seemless transitions on the bass and perfect arpeggios on the harp.
Splendido! il suono del clarinetto basso è semplicemente meraviglioso.
the dynamics and the smoothness of the clarinet work so well with the harp. so amazing:)
Wow I love vibrato on clarinet why don’t most clarinetists do it? Like what’s the problem with vibrato on clarinet?

It's amazing.I think you managed to play it better than more violochellists.
Dear god what is that spelling
@@brentbreault7606 it's a pity I can't find a wrong word. Please, point me this word.

@@ИванМиноров-й8ю The word you’re looking for is ‘cellists.’ The instrument is called the cello in English.
@@TiffanyAllen1784 I see.Thanks a lot )

Amazing and so relaxing!
If there was an option for bass clarinet, I'd grab the opportunity
Impressive!!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🌹🌹🌹🌹
hi, great play! What manufactuerer / model ist the clarient? Is it wood or plastic.
Regards🖐
Au fond, on peut en conclure que la clarinette-basse est aux vents ce que le violoncelle est aux cordes 🤔

Bonjour, il faut ajouter un "e" à "Harp" puisque le titre est en français (bon d'accord c'est du chipotage)
好強 ! 用大bass吹到那麼高音
Zauberhaft..

Has to do with his breathing. I do the same thing especially when I’m circular breathing

Sounds a bit funny, just can’t XD
