“Tricky was a plain-faced man with a very handsome voice - a voice like the sound of a clarinet, at once liquid and penetrating, and lovely to listen to.”
― Sarah Waters, Tipping the Velvet

“Her voice was warm and husky as a clarinet, but not so sad as a clarinet: friendlier. When she laughed, it was like a clarinet blowing bubbles.”
― Katherine Catmull, The Radiant Road

“I came to that wooden marching band. I stopped and looked. There was a trumpet, trombone, clarinet, and drum. Birds don't live alone, I told myself. They live in flocks. Like people. People are always in a group. Like that little wooden band.”
― Paul Fleischman, Whirligig

“The whirligig featured a drummer, a trumpet player, a clarinetist, and a man with a trombone. It was a leap beyond the spouting whale, with more figures, a six-bladed propeller, and a much more complex system of rods and pivots that made the instruments dip and rise as if the musicians were marching.”
― Paul Fleischman, Whirligig

“The red-jacketed band stirred to life. The first musician raised his trumpet. The trombone dipped. The drumstick rose. Lea lowered her clarinet. It had been Brent's idea not to have their insturments rise and fall in unison. The staggered motion gave it a more exciting rhythm.”
― Paul Fleischman, Whirligig

“Every clarinet has its own particular bag of tricks, which must be exploited and explored.”
― Jack Brymer, Clarinet

“The viola and the clarinet made for an interesting pairing: we had to imagine the accompaniment of other instruments, ideally a violin and a cello.”
― Nicholas Christopher, The True Adventures of Nicolo Zen

“The clarinet in its most perfect form is a strange beast--if it is imperfect, it is also completely untamable.”
― Jack Brymer, Clarinet

“Extra fingerings for each note are like synonyms in a language. Know as many as you can.”
― Robert Willaman, The Clarinet and Clarinet Playing
