Is Rhapsody Blues a piece a clarinet can play? Is that even the right name? Does anybody have more information on that? Thanks! I think you kind of NEED to have clainets to play Rhapsody in Blue.
Was honored enough to play a little banjo on the piece with a full orchestra arrangement (Orchestras not normally having banjo players on hand, I had to do my best) Do you mean "Rhapsody in Blue" by Gershwin? If so, then yes, a clarinet plays in this song and is featured at its very beginning. In its premiere by Paul Whiteman, Benny Goodman played the clarinet part.
Rhapsody in Blue is also an orchestral piece with many important piano parts. Give it a listen sometime and see what I mean. |
