clarinet solo
Lone reed moment
A clarinet solo is a musical passage performed by a single clarinet, either as a featured moment within a larger orchestral or band piece, or as a standalone performance.
The term often evokes the instrument's distinctive woody, plaintive tone: The clarinet solo in Rhapsody in Blue is iconic.
In casual use, it can describe any moment when a clarinetist plays alone.
