Veszely Werner has been a clarinetist in the winemaker Chapel Kleinhöflein and teaches the instrument at the music-Ebreichsdorf Seibersdorf. In the following interview with Laura Thur he told us about this instrument.
Why is the clarinet really black?
really is dark brown, the clarinet is not completely black, but deep. Sometimes a bit nachgefärbt so that it is all black. In principle Is this due to the wood. Today Grenadilla wood is used. This wood is imported since colonial times from South Africa. Since the Grenadilla wood in the hole breaks often, clarinets are quite expensive. The clarinet was not always black. It used to be used for clarinets boxwood or pear tree, but these woods are not as resistant to moisture and therefore bend very easily.
When was already clarinets? There
clarinets since approximately 1700th At that time, Johann Christoph Denner of Nuremberg has developed the Chalumeau for clarinet as he has made two keys to the instrument. Many sounds were back then but still not be created, others voted again very bad. In order to use them but in all keys may have been added to more and more doors.
Where does the name clarinet?
The high sound of Denner clarinet reminiscent of the Baroque trumpet, also called Clarino. Hence the name Clarinetto - the small Clarino.
for the clarinet, there are two various power sources. What does it mean?
Currently there are two common systems: the German system and Boehm system. The latter is played virtually all over the world, only in German-speaking world, the German system is partially maintained. In the German system wooden rollers are used to more easily move from one stone to the adjacent. The Bohm system has nothing to do with Bohemia, but was named after Theobald Boehm. This has developed for the flute a ring valve mechanism, which was later transferred to the clarinet.
place in which the clarinet styles of music application?
At the beginning, especially in classical music, but also in jazz until the 1940s, in chamber music, brass bands and of course in folk music. It is also used in Klezmer music, Yiddish is the wedding music. In pop music it is used very rarely. As the only representative here, the band "Supertramp" could be mentioned. The clarinet has not, at present no place in pop music.
Do you have a favorite clarinetist?
are brave students liked me (laughs). I never had a real idol, as I always was afraid of anyone to not know everything, and then perhaps to make a wrong decision. If I had to call someone then Giora Feidman would be as representative of the klezmer music. The question who I do not like is a much easier: Benny Goodman.
Where can you contact if you want to start learning clarinet?
At the music school in Eisenstadt, the three brass bands or at the Haydn Conservatory. From the age of eight or nine years you can with Clarinet start. The upper incisor teeth should not be more. Also too expensive braces can be cumbersome.
Where did you get started clarinet lessons to take?
I have learned from Ewald Ivanschitz clarinet. His son Andrew has learned clarinet. At that time the little Andi is still herumgeflitzt with a masked eye. Today he is the captain of the football national team and is known by his fans, green Mozart '.
