"This is the clarinet that Mozart would have expected to hear when he wrote for it."
Our Principal Clarinet Antony Pay takes us through the staple instrument of the time - the 5 key clarinet, and shows us the type of basset clarinet he believes enables you to play Mozart's Clarinet Concerto best.

This man could tell me absolutely anything and I'd believe him.
Oh blimey, you've done it now . . . he'll be head-hunted by Boris!
(sorry : )
@MrAbletospeak Shock value? Nah, you're right . . . we're adrift with Boris Pugwash : )
I'm not surprised a commie is a credulous idiot
Please don't
Of course there’s an insufferable, fascy/far right worm in the comments throwing insults at light hearted banter... Dude, you seem to take BPS and JBP seriously, so uh, I wouldn’t be commenting on the credulity or intelligence of others! 😂
6:41 that clarinet flying away was so fast it activated my "catch the instrument" reflex lol
Glad I wasn't the only one, my heart skipped a beat!
@@cartervanhine1969 As a trumpet player, I was waiting for the clatter!
It yeeted itself! 🤯
Lmao it ran away
my heart rate skyrocketed and i don't even play clarinet.
3:11 he gnomed all of us
You have been.... GNOMEDD
I fuccing lost it dude😂
OMG IM DYING
HOOOOO
Just gave you your thousandth like 🤙🏼
And you all though Santa just delivered toys. Clearly he's also a wicked clarinet player, too.
Thought*
*For some reason it was tough to read this*
Santa is a Londoner?
dude that's a player clarinet. it uses rolls

I liked this video for it's "thumb people" joke.
thumbs up for just that joke
What's that??
@@violetgir1: Thumb technique: thumb people have it, thumb people don't.
I physically groaned.
savage
oh the thumb joke... that's why we love this channel. the artists don't just explain their instrument, they also carry their own personalities throughout the narration! keep it coming!
“Thumb people have them, thumb people don’t” 😂😂😂😂
Hahahaha guys i have an idea, let's quote an obviously funny line from the video, put a bunch of 😂 emojis, and get 20000000 likes

You wouldn’t think he was a mean guy, but...
At thumb time maybe you'll grow up ! Thumb wood say I'm being nasty..
I was all thumbs growing up so I switched to bassoon. Who knew there was an option to stay with clarinet.
6:41 My heart dropped as I thought his clarinet fell over.
Me: It’s a bigass recorder
Him: It’s basically a bigass recorder
Kudos on the really good thumb joke!
Ah im late
well, true, sort of, its a big ass recorder you can articulate...yea.
Or u old enough to be cursing
@@toadsaige4487 What? Oh shit I said recorder, slap my mouth.
@@judygambel2801 And?
Mozart writing music: I’ll take a flute a horn and a bassoon
Random person: and an oboe too right?
Mozart: no, 2 LöNG RêCøRDęRS
Who wants a duck when you can have instrument
@@windmillwilly heheyyyy, fuck you☻
B Powell No one wants a weirdo who spends all their time with their reeds
Ouch.
Mozart hated flutes
"Thumb people have them thumb people don't"
I died...!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
had to replay 3:10-3:12 quite a few times, just for giggles
kungfuasgaeilge hooooo
*ooo*
You’ve been gnomed
@@str3123 OMG! GNOMED
I like 5:13 too.
I admire, and envy this man for his skill, enthusiasm, and dedication.
5:12 DAD JOKE ALERT hahahaha it's great
OMG, I simply love this man.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Lol
I loved that part. XD
One of the best I've heard. It works on two levels ways, as a play on words and literally - as in "thumb people" (people who are good at thumb work)
Stop it get some help
6:41 that scared me
I thought the instrument had fallen over. Nearly dropped my tea on the keyboard
Gave me a mini heart attack
Seriously how did they do that??
Totally made my heart jump.
AwwwMannn how did I not notice this, it literally had a swoosh sound..
Beautiful. As a youngster I had the mad delusion to want to become a jazz saxophonist. So they started me on a clarinet, of course.
. . . Decades later, when reality had set in and my lack of musical ability was confirmed, I met the late Randy Paul of Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. He had a collection of these antique/ancient reed instruments and would drag them down from the wall of his office to play them from time to time. Randy was a wonderful teacher and a good and reasonable friend. I miss him. I miss the sound of his playing clarinets from the long ago times when music was human.
. . . Thank you so much for this video and presentation.
Customer: " This is Mozart's clarinet. "
Pawn stars :" How much do you want for it?"
Customer:" $ 100,000"
Pawn Stars:" I can give you 20 bucks. Look, I need to clean it up and I have no idea how long itll take me to sell"
"I need a profit margin you know"
You know what just hold on im going to call my guy
@@georgelumsden4484Rick:" I've heard of Mozart, but I have a guy that knows all about these. These are faked all the time. Can I call him?
Customer:" Sure, I'd be interested in that."
Expert:" Oh wow, this is nice, it looks period correct, although it does have a few scratches on it and it looks like someone replaced this tiny screw. It is Mozarts, but I'd give it a 7 out of 10. I'd say its worth $ 200,000 retail."
Rick:" I know he said it's worth $ 200,000, but the most I can go is $ 30.00 and I'm taking all the risk here"
@@weirdshibainu Rick: the only thing that worried me was actually ripping him off. How does one do it? Hmm? How does one rip a man off? Its one thing to...dream about it, very different...when you have to do it...with your own hands
@@georgelumsden4484 That's such an excellent reference.
I'm a simple girl, I see a clarinet, I click
Some Brazilian clarinet: ruclips.net/video/hCYRnNYl5UI/видео.html
What a beautiful sound and beautiful clarinet! I absolutely adore it! Having played a modern clarinet years ago, I would much rather have preferred to play on one of these clarinets, especially the second one, I love the sound!
“When we put our fingers down we’re simply changing the length of the tube”....‼️Why didn’t anyone tell me this in elementary school‼️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Good question. It really is a basic thing all players should know. There were a lot of fundamental things they never taught me in elementary school about the clarinet.
They should’ve taught everyone how the pull in pull out technique works I figured it out myself but some kids don’t know how to fix their instruments when they’re out of tune lol
You probably weren't ready for it.
dainjo
Your elementary General Science lessons should have told you.
Trombones do it...All the violin family does it..Guitars, oboes, all valved brass...harps do it.
They all change pitch by varying the length of that bit which generates the sound.
Pianos do it by having varied lengths AND varied tensions...That's why a grand piano or a harp has such
an artistic shape.
It's not to look elegant but to accommodate varied string lengths!
My primary school teacher didn’t even teach me there was another set of set on the lift side of a clarinet thank god for my secondary school he saved me
6:41 LMAO THEY YEETED THAT CLARINET
Took it*
More like yoinked
Fuck I thought he kicked it over cause he thought it was too modern 🤣🤣
Anthony Pay`s rendition of Mozart`s Clarinet Concerto is one of the most treasured recordings in my musical library.
This guy is adorable. I'll bet he's a beloved and kick-ass teacher.
Imagine what Mozart might have composed for the modern clarinet!
Also, "bulbous bell."
number 1 reason we need time machines
Knowing him, it'd be something super inappropriate
@@candicehoneycutt4318 if you liked the magic flute, you're gonna *LOVE* the disco stick!
Nah, you'd never get him off the synths . . ."Hey Wolfie, come & plug your cans into this one man!" : )
It is the cor anglais , not the clarinet, which has a " bulbous bell ".
6:41 my heart dropped. I thought it had fallen!
This is wonderful! Please make some more videos with Anthony. His enthusiasm and his playing is great. Bravo!
Why did you steal Mozart's clarinet⁉️ give it back❗❗🎶
PP gently
hmmm
no
😂
Mozart is dead, he won't need it anymore
Pay's recording of the Mozart concerto on basset clarinet (with the Academy of Ancient Music) is superb.
the end of the concerto is just mozart flexing that there's a low (written) c on the clarinet now
It's not really just flexing -- for that to be the case, the concerto should sound just as satisfying without the range - but to me, the concerto loses something without it - and you can't help but feel that Mozart conceived the concerto with the full range in mind.
@@schubertuk some thing you are talking about is mood!!
*6:39*
"The clarinet has heard enough. He was not needed there, so he left, hurt to its core."
8:23 when you are having the time of your life at a ye olde party
8:31 when you rip ass at said party and everyone notices.
The way he leaned over made it funnier
Oh now I finally understand why it sounds so thoroughly sublime when played ideally on this very warm, resonant, gentle, lilting instrument! Many many thanks!
Now play Mozart’s the Magic Flute
In A Minor
This well resonated with me!
Lovely to see Tony Pay in great form as entertaining as ever. Many happy memories of playing piano for your masterclasses in Sermoneta in the 80’s. Best wishes from Milan! James
Hello Tony - Great to know that you are still playing the clarinet. Fond memories of playing the principal horn in the NYOGB on the Russian tour in 1961 when you played the Mozart clarinet concerto in Berlin, Moscow, Keiv, Lenningrad, Helsinki and Stockholm. Cheers and Merry Christmas to you and yours. Francis
...and Canterbury Cathedral, and Hamburg... I can't any longer link my hands behind my back and then transfer them over my head without letting go (as you taught me), though:-)
Hi Tony I can't do that trick any longer as well. .. 40 lbs heavier, 55 years older and not as flexible. I would need to extend my fingers by at least 9 inches like Mozarts clarinet to turn my right elbow inside my left arm :) On the positive side I still have my Alex 103 which I played in the NYO. Francis Bradley bought it for me from Patrick Strevens for 100 pounds in 1960. What a great investment that was. :)
@@francispau3106 I am an unrelated third party, sorry for thumbing my nose in but I love this
Antony's version of the Mozart Clarinet Concerto has been my go-to since he recorded it with Christopher Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music in 1986. I would absolutely love to have a dinner date with Mr. Pay, I think it would absolutely fascinating!
Cool vid
Any clarinet peeps?
I play contrabass.
the fat controller laughed that’s really cool
Played Bb and Bass in school and in the Catholic Schools All City Band. Haven't touched one in 20 years, though videos like these really make me miss it.
Me
In my senior year of high school, been playing Bb clarinet for seven years 💕💕💕 I play alto saxophone, cornet, recorder, and ukulele as well
Thought that you dropped the modern clarinet. Was so worried
my heart skip a beat when the normal clarinet slide away...
What a pleasure! I just discovered this video - I had the pleasure and privilege to study for three years with Tony - 30 years ago in Italy. What a wonderful teacher and human being!
him: thumb people have them thumb people don't
me: dies in clarinet
Share the gift - pay it forward - this is precious. What a wonderful introduction to the clarinet. Thank you Anthony.
Recently discovered this channel. One of my new favourites! Keep up the good work, you lovely people!
Brilliant. Beautiful instruments and a great teacher. More from Tony - it's a 'Thumbs' up from me. 👍
Antony Pay! Best clarinetist around. Listen to his recording of K. 581.
This is EPIC!!! A whole new side of RUclips i hadn't found before. LOVE this guy: he's funny, fluent and clear in speech, knows his topic REALLY well, and can play wondrously!!! Bravo: thank you so much for this.
Thank you so much for preserving the sound and the style of the original instrumentation.
Lovely series of videos. Would love to see one for the bass clarinet.
Check out the guy who calls his videos earspasm. He specializes in the bass clarinet, and even plays John Coltrane's "Giant Steps" solo on it, which I doubt any classical clarinetist could do.
Such a great teacher.
BEAUTIFULLY done, sir. Thank You.
Such a smooth sound that the switching noises are just charming
Am i the only one, who jumped in horror, because i thought his mordern clarinet fell over? 6:41
I was so confused for a solid 20 minutes haha
I didn't notice until you mentioned it.
ich bin it was a clarinet being possessed lol
I saw it and laughed loud. hahaha
ich bin I was a bit surprised when I saw his other clarinet move at 6:41.
You are talented, wise, and delightful. I like your teaching style. I'm learning keyboard, mandolin, and eventually recorder, for an album I'm making. I grew up with classical music and it's a real influence on my sound. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
In his correspondence, Stadler makes clear his enthusiasm for Rovner ligatures.
British expat here. For many years, decades even, I have listened and enjoyed Anthony Pay's musicianship with the greatest delight. This short lecture has enhanced my enjoyment of his performances. Thank you to the OAE. Brilliant.
6:39 THE CLARINET JUST LEFT WHAT
Off camera helper...
06:41 - my heart attack. As a clarinetist myself I thought your modern clarinet just fell down.
I absolutely love this channel. Third video I've encountered from you guys randomly, can't wait to find more :)
You can tell this man loves his instrument and to teach. What a gentle soul.
As a former clarinet player, this guy is my hero.
Wow. Mozart didn’t have to deal with all those alternate fingerings...
Brilliantly presented. Thank you very much OAE.
My heart dropped for a second when the editors swept away the modern clarinet @6:42. I thought it had fallen. LOL!
This is the first time stumbling across this video and absolutely loved it .. the brilliant theory, his great skills and of course the Basset Clarinet. I am looking into progressing what I know and The Basset Clarinet is perfect for me. It has such an incredible octave range and a beautiful deep tone sound that resonates well.. and I could see myself enjoy playing that type of instrument for an extremely long time..perhaps someday I will own one. (If only I could afford one I'd have it shipped straight to my home immediately and overnight shipping..lol). In the meantime, I play a simple aged bamboo flute. Sounds great..purchased from some fair for 25 bucks with the similar deep tones but more basic with just the 6 holes.
Squidward should really take lessons from you
Y e s
Shut up
SFS Central some ones salty
@@nobodyproductions1178 sOmE oNeS sAlTy!! Shut the hell up too.
SFS Central Tenor Sax army, go back to your house squidward and attract some more jellyfish because that’s the only thing you’ll ever attract
What a splendid video that's simultaneously informative and engaging--thanks for uploading!
Thank you Mr. Pay. Always thought it was worth trying to find the clarinet concerto played on a basset clarinet, a delicious instrument that Mozart knew how to exploit.
This is the David Attenborough of music 😂
What a charming fellow
I enjoyed hearing the clarinet and learning more about the evolution of the instrument . Excellent video !
This is delightful. I could watch this gentleman all day long.
This guy is brilliant. Never mind the editors who can't key out his hair properly or the CREW COUGHING while he is speaking.
I have 0 ideas of what he's talking about but I watched the whole thing...
Mozart's 23rd Piano Concerto in A is the first classical piece I ever got on vinyl, around 70 years ago. It is my earliest acquaintance with classical music, and to this day its melodies strike me with bittersweet nostalgia.
Fantastic explanation, I loved hearing the technical background.
I didn't know that Pamela Poulin discovered that sketch!! She goes to my church and has always been an advocate for my interest in music!
I prefer Mozart's clarinet to the modern clarinet.
@Eric James It does have a very unique Mozart-style sound to it.
Has a great woody tone to it.
Grazie per coinvolgerci con le sonorità degli strumenti che venivano suonati ai tempi d'oro !!!
Quelli di Bach, Mozart, Beethoven !!!
E poi grazie per le descrizioni sulla evoluzione di questi strumenti fino ai nostri giorni.
Probabilmente già i grandi musicisti che ho ricordato, e non solo loro, avevano nel loro cuore suoni e timbri sublimi neanche raggiunti dalla nostra tecnica attuale !!!
La Musica non ha confini !!!
A real pleasure to watch this great player and history clarinetist.
And all this time I thought that a basset clarinet was the one with really long ears. Mr. Pay is great!
Very interesting!
I love the sound, and the speaker, too! 👍👍
Beautifully explained, good teacher.
4:58 "right the way down to the bottom of the instrument." I wouldn't expect anything less!
But seriously, though, thanks for lots of fascinating info, especially that picture of Stadler's basset clarinet.
5:13 very funny!!
A fascinating bit of history.
Thank You, Antony
Fascinating information. Thank you for this video. It's gold.
Excellent video! It's a pity though that the chalumeau, the link between the recorder and clarinet, was neither mentioned nor shown.
I thought the very same thing.
That's a good point; because even though the chalemeau is seen as having died out in the baroque era it actually had a Viennese revival in the 1770s, with several composers writing for it including Hoffmeister, Gluck, and even Cannabich, who featured clarinets and chalemeau in the same work. There is a chance that Mozart would have at least known about the Chalumeau due to its sudden burst of popularity in his youth.
The bottom register of the modern clarinet is often referred to as the " chalemeau register ".
That was very interesting and entertaining! Being a clarinetist for several decades and an instrument repair tech, I have some odd questions... such as: since the keys are square, I wonder if the tone holes are square? And what did they use for pads on the keys?
Very well versed and articulate in his presentation!
Love learning about the history of musical instruments
5:10
laughs in bassoon :D
"Spared no expense...."
Brilliant and informative video thanks for the upload
Your instrument does indeed sound wonderful. Nice to get to hear it. My first and chosen instrument was the common alto clarinet. I did, years later, during high school, learn to play all versions of the clarinet. We had a wonderful clarinet quintet. It was so much fun to hear the full range of this family of woodwinds.
Can you trill b flat to c on this clarinet like you can on a modern clarinet?
Antony replies: you don’t have a good trill Bb to C. Some later simple clarinets added keys to enable ‘over the break' trills; side keys like the ones you have on your modern clarinet.
Thank you. This is a very interesting video because I love the Mozart clarinet concerto performed on the A clarinet.
1:42 "F^ck!ng play a scale" ROTFL!!
mrridikilis cannot unhear now!
What wonderful timbres from that beautiful instrument! Goodness. To think, how innovative it was. Lovely, lovely music, bringing the best out of people. 🤗🎶❤️
Great video, thanks so much!
