Comparing the fundamental differences in the playing methods of the German style clarinet and French clarinet mainly focuses on this aspect: the differences in the location of the oral articulation point.

Because compared with the German style clarinet, the French clarinet has a loose tone and needs to open a lot of space at the back of the mouth, that is, the throat, to ensure sufficient airflow through the throat to bring stability and loose vibrations. Therefore, compared with the German style clarinet, the playing method of the French musical instrument will cause the air pressure to be forward due to the open throat, which leads to the problem that the mouth shape of many clarinet beginners is too tight, which requires the player to pay attention to the air pressure and airflow. Stable and coordinated with the pressure of the mouth shape.

The performance of the German style clarinet requires the post-position of the oral air pressure point. Different from the loose oral pronunciation space of the French style, in order to meet the stability of the "core" in the German tone, it is necessary to always maintain strong oral air pressure and gas velocity.

The specific location of the pronunciation of German style clarinet is located on the soft palate on the oral cavity and at the base of the tongue below. When people play German style clarinet, the front of people's mouth makes fine adjustments to relative relaxation, especially the relaxation of the mouth shape, according to the difference in sound area and pitch. When using the German style clarinet, through the stable rear point pressure, combined with the relaxed front end vibration, it brings the inner fullness and the outer fullness of the woody round and soft sound quality.

Through the above introduction and analysis of the difference in oral pronunciation between German style clarinet and French clarinet, hope it helps you.
