In this freewheeling coffee break, clarinetist Dr. Christopher DiSanto, Associate Professor of Music, Stockton University, shares his perceptions on how artists approach virtuosic, as well as less technical, more emotional compositions. We talk about how a clarinet can play a cello solo, tempo and Beethoven's metronome, and can "showing your chops" ruin musicality? We also listen to some exceptional clarinet performances.
