      It contains - without any scientific claim - an overview of historical developments of the instrument as well as considerations on the choice of the instrument in the context of historically informed performance (HIP).

      A repertoire excerpt and references to further specialist literature are intended to stimulate the deepening of already acquired knowledge.

      Introduction

      The increasing interest in HIP in recent years makes more and more musicians, whether students or established professional colleagues, want to expand their knowledge and skills in this direction as well. New courses being offered at conservatories, and seminars and master classes delight in growing enrolment figures. Scientific literature brings interesting findings to light. Long-forgotten composers whose works deserve to be performed again and included in the concert repertoire are being rediscovered. Even the music of the late 19th and early 20th centuries enables the engagement with new aspects in a historical orientation.

      The clarinet, a latecomer to the classical orchestra, has also become a fixture in the field of historically informed performance practice. In the period from about 1700 to the present day, it has experienced a rapid and turbulent development, both in terms of instrument construction and playing technique. This development has frequently inspired composers and gave rise to some of the most interesting musical masterpieces and treasures.

      Despite the greater complexity of finger movements in forked fingerings and the different acoustic properties compared to the modern clarinet, the historical clarinet along with its family members is relatively easy to learn for experienced musicians. However, it is not so easy to get a good overview of the origins of the different systems as well as the types of instruments and their respective use within HIP. This book aims to support this endeavor and provides clarinetists of all skill levels with an initial outline of the historical clarinet in theory and practice. It is intended to arouse curiosity and encourage closer studies of clarinet instruments and their interesting history.
