E-Flat Clarinet: Interview and demonstration with Jessica Phillips Rieske발음듣기

("Symphony No. 5, II. Alegretto" by Dmitryi Sostakovich) This is the E-flat clarinet.발음듣기

Also knows as the piccolo clarinet.발음듣기

So, it plays in the high register.발음듣기

I started on B-flat clarinet which is what most people begin on when they start to play clarinet and have lessons.발음듣기

And this is a different voice, it's a really high voice.발음듣기

And it's a lot of fun to play.발음듣기

It's a character in the orchestra.발음듣기

It plays very loud and very angry or it plays a kind of snake charmer, beautiful melody but it's basically a Mimi-Me of the clarinet.발음듣기

And this particular instrument has been customized for me.발음듣기

And this is tulip wood barrel, this is what we call the barrel.발음듣기

So this is the mouthpiece and the ligature.발음듣기

The reed goes here and the reed vibrates against the mouthpiece and that's really what the sound is.발음듣기

Then, this is tulip wood barrel. And this is Grenadilla wood.발음듣기

And then this is also tulip wood bell.발음듣기

And it's very beautiful everybody always comments, it's very pink.발음듣기

But it changes the color of the sound.발음듣기

So I use it to actually kind of make the sound darker, and warmer, and richer.발음듣기

This is kind of a new thing, a new concept, even in the past five to ten years where we're using different woods to create different colors in the sound.발음듣기

Maybe darker, something that might project or be louder, something that would be softer, if you're playing chamber music.발음듣기

So, we can play around with it a little bit and have fun with all the accessories.발음듣기

("Symphony No. 2, I. Allegro maestoso" by Gustav Mahler) This clarinet was made for me by a Canadian maker actually, Backun.발음듣기

And I worked with him, we tuned it, he added some keys, he bored out the instrument.발음듣기

And so I worked with him a lot on customizing it for me, for my fingers.발음듣기

The E-flat clarinet is great for me, I have really small hands. So, it fits me perfectly.발음듣기

And a lot of people who play B-flat clarinet when they start as kids, they play on E-flat because it's a little bit smaller.발음듣기

So, that's also a fun way to do it.발음듣기

But it's a fun instrument in that it is small, it fits me perfectly.발음듣기

So, I've worked with him to customize this and I helped him invent this barrel, actually.발음듣기

We had this cut away, it's flat, and it helps the reed fit on the barrel.발음듣기

So, I worked with him a lot with that and on the bell as well.발음듣기

The hole in the bell is a tuning, it's a vent, it just basically tunes, when you put all your fingers down this hole actually vents air as well because it's so short.발음듣기

So it helps to tune the lowest note there.발음듣기

("Daphnis and Chloe - Suite No. 2" by Maurice Ravel) This was about third grade, I went to a music arts summer camp and you either do theater or play the clarinet or do something like that.발음듣기

And I wanted to do a musical instrument and I didn't know what.발음듣기

And I remember sitting on my grandfather's porch and talking to him.발음듣기

And he said, "You should play the clarinet.발음듣기

Benny Goodman played the clarinet! And I thought, "Oh, okay, great!"발음듣기

And I think probably I wouldn't have picked it if I'd have known there were so many little parts to it.발음듣기

("Daphnis and Chloe - Suite No. 2" by Maurice Ravel) So, I did it in the summer and then I did like it.발음듣기

I grew up in a household that loved music.발음듣기

We had the Metropolitan Opera Saturday broadcast on in the house on Saturday afternoons all the time.발음듣기

But nobody made me practice, in fact my parents were actually very good about "You do what you want to do."발음듣기

I just started to grow and love the music, the clarinet, so much that I kept with it.발음듣기

And, you know, fifth grade, sixth grade I got into a youth orchestra and I loved playing in that.발음듣기

Playing Beethoven's First Symphony and playing all these wonderful pieces.발음듣기

And also I had friends, and it was so much fun.발음듣기

And I think I got very serious my senior year, my, actually probably junior, senior year of high school.발음듣기

So sixteen or seventeen years old.발음듣기

And I had an amazing teacher who really inspired me, Julie Vaverka.발음듣기

She was my teacher in Boston and she really inspired me.발음듣기

She was a wonderful musician, just completely opened the world up to me of what I could do musically.발음듣기

It was no longer about playing the clarinet, it was about being a musician.발음듣기
