Cadenza
In this second lesson, Sharon Kam takes you through the virtuosic clarinet cadenza, with suggestions on phrasing, pacing, and precise articulations, while leaving room for you to make your own artistic choices.

In this final lesson, Sharon Kam guides you on on how to lean into the proper rhythmical pacing, fingerings, and appropriate articulation in order to accurately bring out the musical whimsy and excitement this whirlwind of a second movement brings.
