| | Clarinet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The clarinet is a musical instrument in the woodwind family. | | | Clarinets are also commonly found in jazz, especially in its earlier forms such as the Big Band music of the 1930s and 1940s. | | | Mozart liked the sound of the clarinet and wrote much music for it, and by the time of Beethoven, the clarinet was a standard fixture in the orchestra. |

| | Contrabass sarrusphone parts do not exist in band music, but the instrument is sometimes used instead of a contrabassoon. | | | The Eb clarinet is a funny little solo instrument sometimes used in band music. | | | For the most part in modern band music, the role the contrabassoon played is now handled by the contrabass clarinet. |

| | Clarinets come in many different sizes and all are transposing instruments, which means that the music for the clarinets is written in different pitches than the note actually sounds. | | | Instruments in the clarinet family all have a single reed (sometimes called a tongue) which vibrates against an opening to create the sound. | | | Remember, a concerto is a piece for solo instrument(s) and orchestra.) The first known composer to write a concerto for clarinet was J.W. Stamitz. |
