I am 12 years old and i am playing the Carl Maria von Weber Concerto no.1 for Clarinet and I am doing well on it but there are monsterious runs and I was wondering how to hold breathe.

Help,
Matthew

Why do people think it's funny to post this type of crap? Get a life.

o_0 some ppl are rude..why don't you get a life..huh?

So I guess you're naive enough to believe that you're talking to a 12 year old kid playing Weber's first concerto?

No twelve year old talks in language that simple.

I might be slightly stupid, but forgive me if I take this guys post seriously.

I was wondering how to hold breathe.

How to hold your breath? Open mouth. Push out diaphragm. Suck in air. Shut off airway. Keep in lungs.

Nah true though, practise playing looong notes, practise playing the passage and DON'T PASS OUT!
