Text Appearing Before Image:
Requiem he calls for twobasset-horns. BASS-CLARINET This instrument is made like the ordinary clarinetonly the bell points upward and outward somethingafter the fashion of a big dipper. It is a slow-speakingand hollow-toned instrument. Wagner uses it a greatdeal. Liszt has a good part for it in his Mazeppa;and it is conspicuous in the Danse de la Fee Dragee inTschaikowskys Nut-cracker Suite and also in the DonQuixote Variations by Strauss. The bass-clarinet is doubled by the contrabassclarinet. The contrabass clarinet is an octave below thebass-clarinet. The tube is partly conical and partlycylindrical. It is over ten feet long, and ends in a bigmetal bell turned upward like that of the bass-clarinet.It has thirteen keys and rings. It stands in the keyof B-flat. The instrument is also called pedal clarinet.Its middle and upper registers are reedy, somethinglike the ordinary clarinet tones, and the lower registersare deep rumbles. It might be described as a rival tothe double-bassoon.

This instrument is nothing but a long tube spirallycoiled and ending in a bell. The horn is very old. It is depicted in painting andsculpture in the monuments of Egypt, Assyria andIndia. It may even be the oldest of all instruments;for it was easier to blow through the horn, or the tusk,of an animal than to cut a reed, or stretch a string.
