International Clarinet Association. Welcome to the Clarinet Pages. Clarinet. Clarinet Fingering Charts. Clarinet. The word clarinet may have entered the English language via the French clarinette (the feminine diminutive of Old French clarin or clarion), or from Provençal clarin, "oboe".[1] It "is plainly a diminutive of clarino, the Italian for trumpet", and the Italian clarinetto is the source of the name in many other languages. According to Johann Gottfried Walther, writing in 1732, the reason for the name was that "it sounded from far off not unlike a trumpet". This may indicate its strident quality in the upper register, although in the low register it was "feeble and buzzing". The English form clarinet is found as early as 1733, and the now-archaic clarionet appears from 1784 until the early years of the 20th century.[2] Characteristics[edit] Sound[edit] Bass clarinet Range[edit] Defining the top end of a clarinet’s range is difficult, since many advanced players can produce notes well above the highest notes commonly found in method books.

The cylindrical shape of the clarinet, combined with a closed ended mouthpiece (unlike the flute) inhibit the clarinet from producing the even numbered harmonics. This accounts for its unique timbre. Chalumeau, ca. 1680 1712 - The earliest known works for the clarinet, a set of duets by French composer Estienne Roger. 1716 - Earliest known orchestral use of the clarinet, in Vivaldi's oratorio Juditha Triumphans. 1730 - Composers employ a more lyrical style of melodic writing for the clarinet, using scale passages, leaps of an octave or more, and frequent use of the low register. 1740 - A third key,played by either thumb, extends the range down to low e. 1751 - J.
