This is how contra clarinet should sound. Seriously. I can honestly say I've never heard the instrument played with such warmth, clarity, and expression before. Well done, man.

@marizuokereke7347 9 ай бұрын

Yeah. I love this tone and musicality. Hope that they are still playing contra, or otherwise bringing music into the world!

I'm so incredibly glad that I found this recording at the beginning of my sophomore year in high school. I took this solo to Solo and Ensemble. It's been 3 years since then. This really takes me back, listening to it again now. I wish the register key wasn't broken on my school's contrabass clarinet when I did this. It would always stick for 3-4 seconds upon pushing the key. That didn't stop me from trying, nor did it stop me from making all-state honors the next year, but God was it annoying.

Wow, played the Eb for years and I'm looking to get back into it. The arrangement for Bb is new to me in a big way. You go low in the middle of the piece where the Eb typically goes an octave higher. Definite "but wait, there's more!" moment. I love it. Fantastic job!

If it's the one he's holding in all of of the photos of him with his instrument (and I'm going to go out on a limb and say it is :P), it is the plastic Leblanc L7182, which is a surprisingly fabulous instrument for the price.
