IX JORNADA PROMUS - Anat Cohen

This video talks about my project 10 Études For Clarinet & Metronome. Starting with a short introduction of myself, followed by the description of the project and its abstract I go into some details of my approach to playing with the metronome and the idea behind the Études using some examples from existing recordings and my own demonstrations. The objective of the project is to write ten études for clarinet and metronome, record them as both audio and video and to have the scores and the recordings available online. The Études will be written for different levels of players and will be designed to help to develop their technique, rhythm, and time feel and how to approach them simultaneously. CURRÍCULO Ever charismatic, prolific and inspired, Grammy-nominated clarinetist-saxophonist Anat Cohen has won hearts and minds the world over with her expressive virtuosity and delightful stage presence. The New York Times writes, “Ms. Cohen on the clarinet was a revelation. Using the clarinet’s upper register, she could evoke infectious joy. In the lower register, her playing could conjure a deep, soulful melancholy. On up-tempo numbers, her improvisations weren’t just bebop fast; they had a clarity and deep intelligence that is really quite rare. She made it look effortless, even as she was playing the most technically difficult of all the reed instruments… she took my breath away.”
