About this exposition

Movement is intrinsically linked to music. As a clarinetist, how to move the body in a beneficial (good/natural) way while playing has always been an issue for me. It's very common for a clarinetist constantly move while trying to express the music, but sometimes these movements cause difficulties and hinder the performance. As such, in this research I will look for the most efficient position and the best natural way to move while playing. The research is divided in four parts. First, I did a literature review to understand how other authors approach this subject. This part is divided into two sections: the first is about movement in relation to music; the second about movement related specifically with clarinet playing. For the second chapter I interviewed Annelien van Wauwe, Carlos Ferreira and Sérgio Neves to hear different opinions on the topic. These first two parts of my research allowed me to collect information that, together with my personal experience, enabled me to find the best conclusions about the topic, identifying the common problems related with body movement while playing and pointing out solutions for those problems. The reflections, solutions and exercises exposed in this research are very important in making my way of playing stable, comfortable and an integral part of the music. Furthermore, I hope these ideas can also be useful for other musicians, particularly clarinetists.
