About this exposition

At the beginning of the master, Davide asked himself a question: How can the Mozart clarinet quintet and the Brahms clarinet quintet be compared in an intelligible and coherent manner regarding clarinet performance practice? And it is precisely from here that Davide's research started. Through some books (including The Clarinet in the Classical Period and Notes for Clarinettist - A Guide to the Repertoire by Albert R. Rice, and "Brahms Clarinet Quintet" by Colin Lawson) and interviews with teachers, he was able to compare the differences between the Mozart quintet and the Brahms quintet. By studying these sources and going deeper into these topics, Davide has come to understand the differences in the quality of the sound, the kind of articulation, the quality of legato that a clarinettist must have to play these two quintets. One of the biggest differences between these two periods was the type of instrument: the classical instrument had few keys (it was more difficult technically) and had a simple open sound. Instead, after a century the romantic instrument was innovative because it was equipped with many more keys (therefore it exalted the virtuosity of the clarinettist) and many sound colours could be obtained. As well as covering these areas, the paper also discusses some general distinctions between the Classical and Romantic periods.
