::Thanks for the tip, and a belated thanks for the welcome! I happen to have a lot of musical examples for basic music theory, which I created on Sibelius notation software while I was a Teaching Assistant. I'll use the image upload request.[[User:JDWpianist|JDWpianist]] 17:35, 17 March 2009 (EDT)

:The new gallery looks great! And that's definitely the Stephansdom I know and love -- though the renovation on the tower finished very recently and it's looking even better now. You know, for Maundy Thursday, they pealed the bells at 7 p.m., it's a haunting, ancient sound.

Who first called it a 'licorice stick'? And what is the role of the clarinet in the [[big bands]] of the [[Big Band Era]]? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 17:24, 25 May 2009 (EDT)

:I think the "licorice stick" epithet came around just as big bands were becoming popular, in the '30s, though it's not clear if it can be traced to any one person. The clarinet was a big deal much earlier in New Orleans Jazz, where it played a mostly [[obbligato]] role (see also the page on [[heterophony]]). This role kind of morphed over into Big Band Jazz, where as a solo instrument it played lots of decoration over the main melody. The great soloists like [[Benny Goodman]] of course had a big part in shaping that. Later into the 40's, Ellington and Count Basie wrote some pieces with whole clarinet ensembles instead of saxophones, which gave it a special moody character.

:Yes. Next question: What do you call the kind of [[broken chord]] which is indicated by a wavy line to the left of the notes? And how do you distinguish that from the typical arpeggio which is written out in, say, eighth notes (or as Bach did with the Well-Tempered Clavier Prelude #1, sixteenth notes)? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 18:20, 25 May 2009 (EDT)

+
::They're actually both called [[arpeggio]]s technically, but the wavy line is usually just called a roll (or rolled chord). Practically there aren't many situations where the two usages can be confused. I personally call an arpeggio with a distinct rhythm (like the Bach) a broken chord.
