 Clarinet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This relates to the position of the instrument when playing to an audience: pointing down at the floor, except in the most vibrant parts of certain styles of music and when called for specifically by the composer in the music (for example, in the music of Gustav Mahler).
The clarinet is widely used as a solo instrument.
This practice of using a variety of clarinets to achieve colouristic variety was common in 20th century music and continues today.

In 1923 he recorded with the New Orleans Rhythm Kings; according to Rhythm Kings leader Paul Mares, Murray was not a regular member of the band, but was a friend who sometimes sat in with them.

 Music Preview: PSO clarinetist votes 'no' on vibrato for classical works
Finally, Richard Stoltzman, one of the best-known clarinet soloists in the world, says he thinks the no-vibrato rule might have something to do with the fact that jazz clarinet soloists are often in the spotlight, leading bands, bending and swaying, interacting with the audience.
But there is one thing listeners won't hear -- a vibrato.
The 32-year-old Rusinek, who grew up in Toronto and went to the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, says he can think of only one other classical instrument where the vibrato/no vibrato debate persists -- the French horn.
