Military Clarinet, Thirteen-key Model, Made By "jung" In Marseille (1812). First Empire
Artist: Jung Marseille
The clarinet, invented in Vienna in 1809, was a clarinet with thirteen keys. The Paris Conservatory adapted this innovative instrument in 1812, even for military musicians. Bardin called it "the military violin." And indeed, considering its importance within bands and brass bands, and the fact that music teachers were most often also principal clarinetists, there is a clear parallel with the orchestra and the violin. Like other wind instruments, the clarinet underwent significant evolution between the 18th and 19th centuries, acquiring more holes and keys. It is an instrument of invention. In a letter to a friend in March 1800: "I am learning music, how to play the clarinet, how to sound the trumpet." Sold as is, see photos. France. Early 19th century, around 1812.
