The breakdown of participation looked something like this:įor each multiphonic, the clarinetist would have to mark their ease of play on a score out of 5:ġ – Very easy. Twenty-seven multiphonics composers can use without worrying about whether they can be produced or not! (WordPress won’t let me embed into a Table for whatever reason unfortunately.)
Update: I am slowly making videos to explain the further possibilities of every one of these easy multiphonics – please check out the “video explanation” column, and follow my channel on YouTube for more of this content. And from our experiment, 27 multiphonics have made the final cut: the easiest of the easy. These multiphonics were taken from my own home-made database, which has a total of 208 multiphonics. I knew I couldn’t possibly do this alone, so I created a survey: 36 clarinetists from various musical backgrounds took part, and played through 44 different multiphonics (40 that I myself consider to be easy, and 4 that I consider hard – my “control” sample, if you will). I wanted to compile a list that composers felt they could use without worrying about whether the clarinetist would be able to execute them. Two months ago, I decided I wanted to do a post on easy Bb clarinet multiphonics. You can support me on Patreon for less than the cost of a coffee
