Classical to flamenco clarinet : How to approach Flamenco from a classical perspective?

University essay from Kungl. Musikhögskolan/Institutionen för klassisk musik

Abstract: About three years ago I started developing a project from Classical to Flamenco music with the clarinet as the main voice. There is a mix of music with basically two styles in the project in a concert form. I approached a new style that was not mine, and with some work of exploration I have been learning how to play and connect with it from a classical perspective into the flamenco style and tradition.This work is based on research of the tradition. I have been exploring the history of this art to understand how it has evolved and the main characteristics. After this, I looked for classical musicians who started to learn flamenco and got some inspiration for my project.The last part is the action phase, where I started to make the project real and what the process looked like. This work concludes with the results of the practical part and a discussion about how I would like to develop this project in the future.
