So who has played this?! I can't stop playing it!! I've done more clarinet practice in the past few days than i have in the past year, I love this piece!!

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I really like it and i have a copy of it except I can't quite play it yet. I want to though. I hate it when you want to do things but your own abililities stop you.

aww! if i can play it so can you! i have to practice the 1st and 2nd movements more because im doing them for grade 6, but i like the other movements too! woooo!

The Tartini is great! I played the 3rd and 4th mvts for my Grade 7.

I have too. It's lots of fun, and a useful addition to the pre-Classical repertoire.

what standard is this piece. What book is it in/ who published it?

its not in a book

1st and 2nd movments are grade 6
3rd and 4th are grade 7

cheers!

I played it too I thought it was great - even though at the time I was desperate to start learning jazz

Hi

I absolutely love the 3rd and 4th movements. I did them for gr 7 and I had a non-stop practising sydrome too. There's something about it which makes it different every time you play it!

yeah, i like the 3rd and 4th movements as well!

i have that syndrome real bad! someone snap me out of it, i am obsessed with it!!

There is no cure - some hand me my Mauser and vodka and leave me be, but I won't give up!

I love the Tartini too. The first and third movements are beautiful, and really work on tone, breathing, and shaping. Be sure to practise your G minor arpeggios for the second movement, and get them neat; the art of that movement. And the last movement is just wonderful, and a true example of what the clarinet could do in a Baroque idiom.

Heaven knows what Bach or Handel could have added to our repertoire had it existed in properly developed form in their time.
