"Tenor clarinet"
is this really also called the Tenor Clarinet? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.23.197.86 (talk • contribs)
- Yes, particularly in England. See Rendall (first cited reference). -- Rsholmes 15:02, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Notability
Instead of "because some of the most beautiful notes (written C to F) in the upper register of the alto clarinet have the same pitch as the weaker-toned middle-register notes (written F to B♭) of the B♭ soprano clarinet", we should say (in this way sounding better in an artistic context and also sounding more inclusive): notes (written C to F) in the upper register of the alto clarinet have OPPOSITE CHARACTERISTICS to those of the same pitched middle-register notes (written F to B♭) in the B♭ soprano clarinet. Then it naturally deserves well a niche in the tones palette of the woodwinds. 193.126.182.70 (talk) 13:14, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
Nomenclature
Concerning [Differences in nomenclature], it is not fair to take by reference to octaves, because the relation between octaves and registers is significantly different between e.g. saxophones and clarinets. 89.180.35.58 (talk) 13:57, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
