Скачать или смотреть TMEA 25-26 Clarinet Etude #2

Etude #2 (Voxman Selected Studies pg. 32) is a lyrical etude in F minor. This etude in particular presents many challenges beyond just the notes on the page. With little to no direction on where to breathe given, you'll have to interpret the music in a way where you can work your own breaths into the music without it becoming distracting. Large, slurred intervals are very prevalent in this etude; smoothing them out will be key to success. This recording offers some musical suggestions but I encourage you to make your own musical decisions. Find good, reasonable resonance fingerings for throat tone Bb and Ab, they show up a lot here. I played this etude around eighth note = 96; TMEA recommends a tempo of 88-96.
