Clarinet Midi Files
It's hard to find a piano player. There's tons of music for the clarinet, but how often do we get to play with accompaniment?
Besides, piano players are 1) never available, 2) they demand to be paid, and 3) they can rarely play up to your tempo.
You can now rehearse all you want by using midi files for your accompaniment.
If you play these files as-is with, say, the windows media player, you will hear both the clarinet part and the accompaniment. If you want just the accompaniment without the clarinet part, you need to find software that will let you turn midi channels on or off. You can use any number of music editing programs (like Finale or Sibelius) or their "lite" versions. We also found a little free program that works well called Kanto Karaoke Player. With this little gem of a midi player you can mute the clarinet part of any midi file and hear only the accompaniment. You can choose which parts you hear, what tempo and even in what key it plays. Now you can finally play the more popular clarinet literature with accompaniment! You can download it here.
Please contribute to this archive! If you take the time to prepare a midi file of your favorite clarinet work, you'll provide a great service to the clarinet community. There is no better way to prepare for a performance than by playing a piece through with midi accompaniment.
