Second, the history of clarinet-the origin of clarinet

It is difficult to say exactly when the clarinet was first formed, because the first clarinet no longer exists. It may have been used in folk music in southern and western Europe in prehistoric times, and it is still regarded as a primitive folk instrument by some countries until now. All the images and written materials show that clarinet had many functions at that time, which could be used for solo or instrument combination, as an accompaniment instrument for singers and as a substitute for singing. When clarinet was introduced to the west in the Middle Ages, it was introduced to the bard with low social status. A large number of monosyllabic music and dance music have been handed down by bard, and the alternating use of musical instruments and songs is a common way of playing. Although minstrels are not respected in society, they have made great contributions to the performance of religious music. /html/249.html
