The lower note pair notates the fingering of the tremolo while the upper one the sounding result which is obtained by articulating higher than the finger position thus jumping to their harmonics. If you need other pitches, just find their first position fundamentals and that's it. Note that some tremolos are tricky, and also that the bass clarinet partials are not "natural", especially the 5th partial (major 3rd) is almost a semitone flat. This you can hear in this exact bit, i.e. the composer wrongly notates an E partial for a C, but what we hear is closer to an Eb.
@@arugula_fan You know if the clarinetist can overblow in the lower register in mezzo-piano? All the examples here seem to suggest that this can only be done at fortíssimo and sfz...
@@sonoratemporalis you can fairly easily overblow at most volumes only once you get below piano does it start to cut out due to lack of air support, what we really do is just adjust the inside of our face not really the air pressure so volume isnt at much of an issue

wow that is a really cool use of different registers and spectral mphonics thanks for uploading
Looking into extended techniques for bass clarinet for a piece I'm writing myself. Feel so lucky I found this, wonderful work!
Lovely Music. Thanks For Sharing This Maestro!
At 6:13, the "melodic" line almost seems to outline a Bohlen-Pierce 3:5:7 triad at first (or at least something aurally similar to it). How peculiar!
The person that plays this teaches me clarinet!
love it love it
The first note sounds like a soprano sax. I've never heard that sound come out of a bass clarinet.
I'm wondering how the technique at 0:19 works and how it could be used for achieving other pitches! Thanks

At the 2:23 mark, I am curious what is the extended technique labelled 'spectral'. How does this work?
multiphonic in the lowest register of the clarinet by overblowing

@@sonoratemporalis I think an overblow suggests too much air and pressure so without knowing the answer, I would guess no

Just play low C and move your tongue really far down.
2:28 Mozart would like this one
I have no clue on how to play any of this
sodelicious...........
6:15 lol
my friend plays bass clarinet and is god awful at it
