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.
