-Exposition 00:01 Theme 1 (formed by Motif 1, the quaver+grupetto+descending arpeggio motif) - Tonic 00:42 Little coda (a), built from Motif 1 - Tonic 00:55 Bridge - Modulating (V/vi - vi - vimin7b5 - V/V), formed also by Motif 1 01:10 Theme 2 - Dominant (presenting Motif 1 at 01:26) 02:10 Coda a - Dominant 02:22 Bridge - Modulating, built upon Motif 1 02:36 Theme 2 - Subdominant 02:50 Modification of Theme 2 passing through several diminished seventh chords 03:00 Motif 1 on top of an ambiguous and tense harmony (i would say I - ivº7, in G Major, but in this case harmonic analysis is more confusing than useful) 03:12 Bridge similar to Coda a going through the III (03:12) and ii (03:17) degree of Eb Major 03:23 V section going to the tonic -Reexposition 03:29 Theme 1 - Tonic, note the entrance in canon between the three instruments with Motif 1 03:58 Modulation to the IV degree with an ascending scale on the piano (diminishing the 7th degree so it becomes the V7 of the Subdominant) 04:02 Second half of Theme 1 - Subdominant 04:10 Coda a - Subdominant 04:22 Modulating bridge 04:38 Theme 2 - Tonic (since the ending of the first theme was this time on the tonality of the Subdominant, maintaining the same modulating bridge the tonality goes down a 4th, this means that when in the exposition the bridge conduced from I to V, in the reexposition does the same but from IV to I) 05:22 Coda a 05:35 Final coda, presenting in counterpoint the Motif 1 in different degrees
Jack Brymer was such a beautiful clarinetist, who always played with the warmest tone, perfect articulation, and that naughty hint of vibrato, perhaps from the jazz gigs he enjoyed ! I miss him and am so pleased to have found this stunning piece
Because both of them are woodwinds called "reed instruments". Clarinet, oboe and bassoon belong to this family. Basically, their mouthpieces are made out of two pieces of reeds and are very similar in size and shape, but other than that they differ in size and form.
The clarinetist is using vibrato, not a common thing on the clarinet, and, to be honest, it doesn't sound that good, maybe that's the reason no one use vibrato on clarinet :)
@Utz Brunke well yes, they’re both woodwind instruments, but usually they have very different timbres. I think the reason the clarinet sounds like an oboe in this recording is because it’s played with a bright tone. Also what the other person said, it could be vibrato, but I didn’t really notice a lot of it being used
