      Hello @Serenalok! Because this piece was written over a century ago, it is now public domain, and you can find legal free copies of the sheet music online. This arrangement was actually arranged for "Piano and Violin or Flute" and was played on Harp and Bass Clarinet! You can download it for free here: violinsheetmusic.org/classical/work/saint-saens-the-swan/ :) Enjoy!

    Very well performed (as far as a reed instrument ignorant can understand), and a transcription that really works. The harp does a better work for this piece than the piano, the bass clarinet is a good replacement for the cello.

    As someone who plays bass clarinet, ooooooohhhh my! The high notes are so beautiful and well played! Sadly I'm always given a older bass and some just don't sound as good as they use to so playing high notes is a challenge. But hearing them sounds so pleasing

    • @organist1982
      @organist1982 Год назад

      Back when I played bass clarinet in high school in the late 1990s, I was always jealous of bass clarinet students at other schools who had newer, high-end bass clarinets to play with range to low-C and the double register vent, as I only ever got to play on old Noblets at best, which only went down to Eb and only had the single register vent, making high notes very difficult. And my school was huge! Unfortunately, the football program always got way more funding!

      @wingfanchu5487 3 года назад

      bass clarinet needs a lot of control in diaphragm. Even more than a clarinet which is the 2nd place kind of diaphragm control (double reed instruments rule 1st place). Kinda hard to nail those vibrato without sounding like a honking goose.

    • @oJacksonn
      @oJacksonn 2 года назад

      there are many reasons for it. in a secondary setting, clarinet frequency waves are square, which hides intonation issues between flute and saxophone vibrato. it allows for a balanced more in tune vibrato for the other woodwind sections.
