The clarinet is a type of woodwind instrument that has a straight cylindrical tube with a flaring bell and a single-reed mouthpiece. The instrument has an approximately cylindrical bore, and uses a single reed. A person who plays the clarinet is called a clarinetist or clarinettist.
The word clarinet may have entered the English language via the French clarinette (the feminine diminutive of Old French clarin or clarion), or from Provençal clarin, "oboe". It "is plainly a diminutive of clarino, the Italian for trumpet", and the Italian clarinetto is the source of the name in all other languages. According to Johann Gottfried Walther, writing in 1732, the reason for the name is that "it sounded from far off not unlike a trumpet". This may indicate a strident quality in the upper register, but in the low register it was feeble and buzzing. The English form clarinet is found as early as 1733, and the now-archaic clarionet appears from 1784 until the early years of the 20th century.
There are many types of clarinets of differing sizes and pitches, comprising a large family of instruments. The unmodified word clarinet usually refers to the B♭ soprano clarinet, by far the most common type. The clarinet family is the largest woodwind family, with more than a dozen types, ranging from the (extremely rare) BBB♭ octo-contrabass to the A♭ soprano (piccolo clarinet). Of these, many are rare or obsolete (there is only one BBB♭ octo-contrabass clarinet in existence, for example), and music written for them is usually played on more common versions of the instrument.

Plot: Three days in the life of a young clarinetist (Fernando Alves Pinto), who is in love with a violinist (Vera Zimmerman), but can't get her attention. In the first day he feels alone and frail; in the second day what was supposed to be pleasant becomes a nightmare; in the third day he finally achieves fulfillment through music and helps a pianist (Vera Holtz) who is rehearsing for a concert. These three days correspond to a three movement sonata - the director (Lina Chamie) is a musician, so she imprinted a musical structure to her movie, with few dialogs and poetic images. It's a movie for music lovers.

cosa sia la fedeltà,
la ragione del mio canto
che resistere non può
ad un cosi dolce pianto
che mutò l'amore mio.
E se
anche il sorgere del sole
ci trovasse ancora insieme,
per favore dimmi no,
rende stupidi anche i saggi
l'amore, amore mio.
Se dentro l'anima
tu fossi musica,
se il sole fosse dentro te,
se fossi veramente
dentro l'anima mia,
allora sì che udir potrei
nel mio silenzio
il mare calmo
della sera.
Però
quell'immagine di te
cosi persa nei miei occhi
mi portò la verità,
ama quello che non ha
l'amore, amore mio.
Se dentro l'anima
tu fossi musica,
se il sole fosse dentro te,
se fossi veramente
dentro l'anima mia,
allora sì che udir potrei
il mare calmo della sera.
nel mio silenzio
