I'm not much into playing classical myself, I'll give Mozart and Schubert a try occaisonally, but I prefer Klezmer, Ragtime and a bit of Blues to go with my medieval stuff. The group I sometimes meet with to practice has a Japanese woman in, so we practice some Japanese things. And then mix them with Klezmer! We have one improvised thing we call "Oyoyoy Sakura"smiley - laugh

Folk's good, too, of course, but not a lot of it calls for clarinetsmiley - erm But I play it anyway sometimes with my sister, out of some piano books. Good thing I've got the bodhran to fall back on for some Folk! I hope to become good enough at clarinet to tackle Gerschwin at some point.

Something like that. Actually, it's a cross between "sakura" - that's about cherry blossoms - and "Khosn kale mazel tov" - a wedding song.
