Listen to the story told by the reed,
of being separated

Since I was cut from the reedbed,
I have made this crying sound.

Anyone apart from someone he loves
understand what I say
Jelaluddin Rumi (1207-1273)

Welcome to my clarinet site, dedicated to the instrument of sorrow and joy, of longing and fullfillment.
On this page I will explore the world of clarinet, introduce you to some of my favourite players, share some thoughts on the instrument and guide you to other clarinet sites. My own music, with lots of downloads, is presented on my music site

Site under construction. last update February 28 2003 by webmaster carl petter
