Dame Thea King (Klarinette) // The clarinet's range (three octaves plus) is actually not much wider than the flute's or bassoon's, but because it bestrides treble and bass it always seems to be so. However, the clarinet is indisputably more flexible and more versatile in character than any other woodwind instrument - that is, composers can write a greater variety of music for it to play - and its timbre is one of the most seductive in the orchestra.
