Abstract
This paper investigates the pedagogy and background of a few famous clarinetists in the Greater New York area. They are: Stanley Drucker, Anthony Gigliotti, David Glazer, Alan Kay, David Krakauer, John Moses, Charles Neidich, Kalmen Opperman, and Bernard Portnoy. My primary goal is to compare different interpretations of some nineteenth- and twentieth-century clarinet works. Secondarily, since clarinet techniques such as glissandi, double-tonguing, multiphonics, and circular breathing have been widely employed and extended in recent years, I want also to explore the influence on pedagogy that these clarinet techniques might have.;An additional purpose of this project is to document current teaching methods and musical interpretations in New York, in comparison with past practices. Moreover, this dissertation compares the differences in pedagogy among clarinetists, and demonstrates the varied ways in which changes in historical perspective and modern compositional demands have influenced not only current clarinet pedagogy but also interpretation of solo repertoire in New York.
