This is Disney's Fantasia 2000, which uses Gershwin's rhapsody in blue. The music begins with a clarinet solo and plays an ascending scale. When the scale rose to the highest note, a laissez-faire theme came into being.

In Polka for Clarinet, a series of chromatic scales played by clarinet show people's inner joy to the fullest.

Sometimes melancholy, sometimes cheerful, but in clarinet, it is easy to show it. It is one of the most widely used instruments in woodwind music family, with clear treble, expressive midrange, pure timbre, clear beauty and deep bass.

Therefore, in the orchestra, clarinet is known as the "orator" and dramatic soprano in woodwind instruments.

Clarinet is a woodwind instrument, which consists of a front flute head, a flute body and a trumpet mouth.

Its voice is relatively calm and has a particularly noble and elegant temperament.

Clarinet belongs to the woodwind group in the band. Clarinet is customarily called "clarinet" in China, but it is called "clarinet" in Hongkong and Taiwan Province province.

Good clarinet material is generally African black wood, black, inlaid with silver keys. The principle of sound production is that the fixed reed at the mouthpiece is blown by the breath, and the thin reed tip makes the air column in the instrument tube start to vibrate, thus producing soft timbre.

The first person to introduce clarinet into symphony orchestra was18th century German Mannheim School.

However, its image was not like this at an earlier time. The history of clarinet can be traced back to the horn and bagpipes, and it is generally believed that it evolved from a single reed instrument similar to clarinet-reed flute.

The original clarinet was a musical instrument called reed flute in ancient Europe. It is cylindrical, with no buttons or speakers, and only seven sound holes.

According to the records of the Bavarian Museum of Musical Instrument Technology, the predecessor of modern clarinet is "Sholumo". This is a keyless cylindrical wind instrument.

The first person who reformed this musical instrument was a German musical instrument manufacturer named John Darnay. 1700, he installed two keys and a trumpet on the instrument tube, which was the first two-key clarinet invented by Dai Naidie. From then on, the evolution of clarinet was started, and then Basor lengthened the barrel of the instrument and added a third key.

Joseph Beer, the founder of the German Music School, installed the fourth and fifth keys on the musical instrument, adding four notes.

179 1 year, Xavier Lefevere, a French clarinet player and professor of instrumental music at the Paris Conservatory of Music, added a sixth key to this instrument.

At this point, after a century, clarinet has completed the evolution from primitive to modern. The playing skills of clarinet have also been greatly improved. During this period, Mozart composed a clarinet concerto in A major and applied the clarinet in A major to the orchestra for the first time.

Anyone who is familiar with music can hear it. This melody was adopted by the movie Out of Africa to describe the scenery on the African grassland.

Almost at the same time, composers, conductors and violinists of Mannheim School in Germany developed the clarinet music art, and Stamitz Jr. wrote more than 20 concertos for clarinet.

Clarinet is often used to represent personification and describe an image.

In Peter and the Wolf, the clarinet describes a very big cat. Then it is very cute, but it has a sense of humor and bad behavior.

Clarinet is also used to describe the characters' hearts, like the clarinet fantasia in La Traviata, which completes the singing of the characters in the play very delicately.

Clarinet sounds more like a coloratura soprano, with a high and skillful coloratura sound.

Today, we can hear such beautiful chromatic clarinet music, and we should thank our predecessors for their unremitting transformation of musical instruments.
