Air Varie - Hyacinthe Klose - Euph and Piano (Lost Treasures Series) |
||
|
Hyacinthe Eleonore Klose, (male!), was born in Corfu and taught clarinet at the Paris Conservatory. While working with the instrument may get Buffet he became the inventor of the modern clarinet fingering system. With its similar fingering, the ophicleide was in that period the only brass instrument which could cope with music for inherently more nimble woodwind instruments. His Air Varie Op. 21 is remarkable for its technical demands and was used as a test piece in Paris in 1843.
