Savannah Music Festival LIVE - 231 - Patrick Messina

The clarinet is the musical instrument with the largest pitch range in all of the woodwind family. Developed from a Baroque instrument called the chalumeau, the modern clarinet evolved in the 18th Century, and because of its distinct sound, was given the name "clarinetto," which means "little trumpet." This episode of SMF Live features French clarinetist Patrick Messina playing the music of Mozart, Brahms and Bruch in a variety of ensembles, all recorded live at the Savannah Music Festival.
