About this exposition

Name: Arno Rockler Main Subject: Classical Clarinet Research Supervisor: Susan Williams Title of Research: To C or not to C: The Modern Use and Disuse of the C Clarinet Research Question: How should clarinetists approach playing C clarinet parts effectively in modern orchestral performance? Summary of Results: Throughout the 19th century, composers' use of the C clarinet generally declined. However, its importance grew as the reasons for its inclusion moved from technical considerations towards musical ones. In modern orchestral settings, performers must carefully weigh its importance, advantages and disadvantages to come to an informed musical decision as to its inclusion or exclusion Biography: Arno Rockler is a Dutch-American clarinetist born in Boston, Massachusetts in the United States. He studied clarinet performance at the University of Massachusetts Amherst under Michael Sussman, receiving his Bachelor of Music degree in Clarinet Performance in 2015. Afterwards, he began study with Pierre Woudenberg at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague. He has performed in varied orchestral and chamber settings throughout Europe, including concerts in Oslo, Munich, Vienna, Budapest, and Amsterdam.
