The Clarinette is an instrument comprising a great key number of S. the tacts are not always commonplace. Many notes can be produced starting from Combinaison S different, and only the regular work of the ranges can give to the musician the experiment necessary to the good choice during the execution of a piece

Position of the hands

The instrument is held, right hand in bottom and left hand in top. The inch of the right hand, posed under the support envisaged for this purpose, maintains the Clarinette. On certain models, its position is adjustable.

The key of twelfth

The inch of the left hand stops the hole located in lower part of the body of the instrument (for the majority of the notes) and possibly acts on the key of twelfth. The effect thus obtained is the passage to the register of the bugle.

To note that this key very often and is imperfectly named in the usual language key of octave ; it is well however well about a key of twelfth - i.e. a octave more a Quinte! - which gives access to a note located 12 degree S higher in the range.

Tacts of the registers of the blowtorch and the bugle

The fingering chart given here relates to the clarinet soprano. But the other clarinets have the same amplitude; Moreover for these instruments transposing instruments, the note read on a partition will always correspond to the tact indicated here. The key can possibly differ ( Ut or Fa ).

For the notes of the register of the bugle, the tact suggested is to be supplemented by the action of the left inch on the key of quintoiement (not red).

The Tablature proposed relates to a clarinet equipped with key of Mi♭ left hand, still little running on the basic models. That gives only two additional provisions which will be indicated in comment.

The horizontal provision corresponds so that sees the learning instrumentalist, when it turns over the clarinet in hand to control the position of his fingers. Many boards are given with the instrument represented in driving position what gives the point of view of an external person.

Tacts of the overshrill register

Beyond the Do (4) the tacts do not follow any more same logic, and can appear random. They are in any event higher harmonics. According to the factors, or the generations of instruments, the tacts differ: it comprise sometimes a correction for the accuracy.

The table below gives the possibly corrected tacts (key in green).

For the last notes there does not exist frankly established tact. The note obtained raises sometimes more control of the mouth that simple application of the tact. The perfection is reached when one can carry out these notes on weak nuance S ( p , p ), even in spun sounds (this remark is also true for the top of the register of the bugle).

Tacts of trilles

In the ornament S, the notes owe beings carried out quickly. One can tolerate a small variation of accuracy or stamp. The Trille being realized on a note and the following one in the range, there are thus the trilles on a tone and the trilles on a semitone according to the degree of the note.

4 keys of trilles

The problem with the clarinet relates to primarily the trilles with horse on a change of register. Carried out with the respect of the tacts indicated higher, they would ask a simultaneous alternation of almost all the fingers, and moreover, the jump of harmonic Mode is not instantaneous. The large side keys brought by Hyacinthe Klosé and Louis Auguste Buffet give access to certain notes without passing by a change of register. Of course, the stamp is different but the facility and the speed of execution largely compensate for this defect.

These tacts will be also those applied for the execution of a corrosive or a appoggiatura.

Fingering chart of the trilles

The following table give the noncommonplace tacts for the execution of trilles. For the others (commonplace) it is enough to apply in alternation the tacts presented in the preceding sections. In general a finger only must move.

The two notes heard for a trille are indicated on the figure (two eighth note S). The keys in red are those animated during the execution. The others remain in the state.
