Concertino in D; Getting to the top.

Okay, its final, youtube makes me depressed with all the talented clarinetist, but I'm so addicted!

I think I'm crazy, honestly? I really do, I'm CRAZY when it comes to competition. I have desire, determination, to get to the top. but sometimes watching those clarinetist...they make me wonder, "What am I doing!?". For example...



miss ecesu Sertesen, a fellow clarinetist on youtube.

Let me just say this, I admire her ALOT, she has this virtuoso tone, her style is graceful but its so strong. And her recovery from that squeak, I can never recover from that! On top of that, she's played with SABINE MEYER [oh my mozart I admire her so much!].


^her and her student [I think?] Julian Bliss. I absolutely love this :] I might get their CD soon <33 GOD i love how they are absolutely in tune!

I think its people like this that help us get to the top, the people better then us. Well...if they are willing to turn around and help us out, and inspire us. I think its these people. I wish one day to have people talking about me, more so than they did with Benny Goodman.

I know, its wrong to let my dreams go wild like that, but as musicians, isn't anything possible?

So for all those musicians out there, don't get discouraged, I wish just a minute ago XD! The people infront of you have people who are even better than them, don't fall down that huge mountain, let them help you :).

What I'm saying is, having someone to admire is a great thing, because of them, you can get to the top.

Yes, this blog is in some way pointless, but just to tell you all, I'm a VERY whimsical musician, I do what I feel...and thats why I have technical difficulties...:P..I seriously need to get a neckstrap >.>;.

Now, everyone, listen to alot of clarinetist, I advise so, and find someone who you can aspire to be like

omg...wait this DOES have a point

aspiring to be like someone

ah, but don't be them,, or you'll be marked as a copy, I ask you all this; aspiring to reach their level, to have a piece of them in you, to aspire to get a piece of their tone into yours.

listening to a variety of musicians, and having lessons, master classes, I think one will find a tone that is completely their own, like sabines...

I wanna have a beautiful dark round tone, but one that can inspire

:) so aspire to follow a clarinetist's footsteps, or anyones for that matter <3

I hope you all are doing well with your practicing!
