THE SUM OF ITS PARTS Notation Systems in Demi-Clarinet Repertoire
2024
Overview
Two variations exist: upper demi-clarinet refers to the mouthpiece, barrel, and upper joint, while lower demi-clarinet refers to the mouthpiece inserted into the lower joint and bell. Despite the works early date, Errante emphasizes that Smith, not he, was the inventor of the technique: \"It's got to have been Bill... we met in 1966, [and] he was already doing that. Souvenirs de Nice is unique in its use of microtonal notation, indicating the precise sounding pitch of the full clarinet fingerings applied to the \"prepared\" clarinet (Fig. 3). In our discussion, Errante described this choice as purely practical: \"I [was] just fingering... what would be low E, and then just going through it, E F-sharp, G, G-sharp, and, you know, chromatic fingering, and then seeing what pitches it produced with the mouthpiece and bell... then just writing them down.\" The bulk of the demi-clarinet repertoire was composed by the technique's inventor, William O. Smith.
