The Clarinet A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Does anyone know what grenadilla is? And palisander? We can tell you that they have something to do with Mozart’s favourite instrument. And does anyone know what Mozart’s favourite instrument was? OK, we’ll reveal all: it was the clarinet. The third concert in the series introducing instruments of the Liszt Kidz Academy for 10-15-year-old school kids (as well as parents, grandparents and great grandparents) shows off the clarinet. We find out what the instrument is capable of, why it needs a reed to sound, and what marvellous music it has inspired in the course of its 300-year history. The clarinet has had a great career not only in classical music but jazz, too (where often its cousin, the saxophone, represents it). Besides classical clarinettist Péter Szűcs, Kristóf Bacsó, professor of saxophone of the Liszt Academy, will also help us to get closer to one of the most endearing members of the woodwind family. Gergely Fazekas, assistant professor of history of music at the Academy, takes on the role of storyteller.
