  1. Martin Fröst was playing the clarinet in a very presentful way. His body language was very deep and meaningful way and you could tell that he was extremely into the content that he just had to sort of let it all out and use everything that he’s got into the performance. The audience loved the first piece so much that they cheered and clapped so much that they wanted a second encore that was just as passionate and engaging as the last.

  2. When the man was playing he would show a sad face, when to me it was an emotional part. He would move his body upwards when there was a big note or a crescendo. He would then huddle his body when it was a small note. He paced in a circle and showed great passion when performing. By moving around and the way his hands moved created a great contrast. I found his face expressions very unique but made his performance even better. He also had some sudden movements when there was a loud part of the piece of music. By moving he was very engaging. It made the audience love his performance and to me that got him the encore. I found that he was also quite elegant and gracious when he bowed after is performance.

  3. Martin Fröst moved with the music, and by moving around he captured the audience's attention, along with the ever-changing octave jumps and the range of notes. He changed registers smoothly and made the music interesting rather than just standing in the centre of the stage and making sound. After his first piece he introduces his second song and he explains the story behind the song and the reason he is going to play it. He doesn't for one second lose the audience's attention. He is very skilled and very fast, and his notes are pure.

  4. He uses movements to engage his audience. He moves to the dynamics and pitch of the music. When he goes high he raises the clarinet and when he gets lower he bends down. When he goes softer he bends down and points the clarinet down and when he gets louder he raises the clarinet. He twitches a lot when he gets higher also. When there is a very sudden noise he bends up and down with his knees. He was very skilful in the way he played the piece and moved.

  5. He uses movement to engage the audience. Loads of different types of dynamics and pitch. When he hits the high notes he kind of does a little twitch to get it up higher. The movement he uses from going high to low or low to high he engages the audience with that type of movement. He played the piece in a skillful way.

  6. He uses movements to engage his audience. He uses really good dynamics and pitch. When he hit the high notes he would bent over a bit to show the way the note works. He also used great dynamics going from loud to soft. For the loud notes he would lift the clarinet up for them. He was very skillful in the way he played the piece and moved at the same time.

  7. When notes go high he straightens his posture. Bends his legs to the music and uses space around him so he doesn't look so stiff. He does this because it makes him look confident and passionate about what he's doing. Acts dramatically and enthusiastically when the tempo is fast. Uses body well to express the music.

  8. He uses his movements to create the tone, sound, volume and nature of the piece. He uses the space and orchestra to his full advantage, and his movements make the performance captivating and very intense.

  9. While Martin Fröst plays you can hear lots of dynamics like crescendo, tonguing and decrescendo. You can see how he moves around while he plays, and he moves in time with the piece that he’s playing, when he moves he bends his knee and takes small steps like he’s in a box. He doesn’t use the same area of the box each piece that he does. He doesn’t just move himself he moves the clarinet around as his moving, instead of just walking around plainly. He looks very enthusiastic while he plays and is moving around in his small space.

  10. Stage Presence
    Martin had a very lively performance in his encore and he showed that he really enjoyed the piece. His enthusiasm was displayed with every part of his movement. This was a very Elegant piece because that had a lit of tremolo that proved his experience. This was a very deep and meaningful song because it would make you think about. this was a very inspiring piece because it showed lots of very technical parts which look easier than they are at the moment.

  11. He has accurately conveyed the message and meaningfulness of the song by tensing up in the really captivating parts of the song and then releasing pressure as he started to move around the stage again. He has properly engaged the audience with the movement of his body.

  12. Stage presence

    In this performance the performer expressed himself very well and you could tell the level of volume just by watching him when the sound was muted. He also used a lot of space and he moved with the music. He was very expressive in his performance and he was very passionate about what he was doing. His playing was enthusiastic and he had a great range. He had practised well and he played it very accurately.

  13. Martin Fröst played the Clarinet. He stands so that his body is straight and also his head, by that he is not bent over or he wouldn't be able to play with more accuracy and air. Also standing straight makes him look like he has more confidence in himself. At the start he does a lot of long phrases while he is playing and he bends down and then up while he is playing it. Then when he played some shorter notes he does a bit a bobbing one side to another.

  14. Martin Fröst played the clarinet and he did it very well. The way his body moved looked very meaningful and you could tell that he was very passionate about playing. When he wanted to reach the high notes he lifted the clarinet a bit in the air and when he was going low he held it lower. He captured the audience’s attention by doing these things that was very productive.

  17. Martin playing the clarinet is truly emortiontion. You can see and feel the emortions as he moves his body with the music to show more depth to the music. You could tell the fast pace stuff from the slow pace stuff with the moment of his fingers along the instrument. The interaction of audieaction is remarkable. Beweent his encore, he does speak of the piece his about to play which is great since the audtion seems to understand the piece in much more depth.

  18. Martin Fröst is very good at playing the clarinet, and at working the audience. He has lots of movement which makes it interesting for the audience. When he wanted to reach the high notes he lifted the clarinet a bit in the air and when he was going low he held it lower. Also standing straight makes him look like he has more confidence in himself. His playing was enthusiastic and he had a great range. He had practised well and he played it very accurately.

  19. Martin Fröst connected with the audience by moving with his music, and not having things in his way (e.g. a stand or music) He looked like he was enjoying the music, moving the clarinet higher on the high notes and down a bit lower for the lower notes. In his piece he didn't stand still, but he engaged with everyone around him, even the other artists. He is a very good player and did very well, and people encouraged him to do 2 encores.

  21. Martin was playing the clarinet and he was very emotional. Martin was moving around on the stage to make it really exciting for the audience. He was going at a nice and slow and then he starts to speed it up. You could tell when he starts to speed up by his fingers moving really quickly. To engage the audience he stops to talk with them and then he starts to play again.

  22. Martin Frost Encore:

    Martin Frost had a very engaging way of playing the clarinet and made the song sound very passionate and strong. He moved around as he played and really got into the music. He was able to tell a story through the music and gave the impression of multiple sounds coming out of the clarinet as if two or three were playing. For the second piece, he spoke to the audience and told them what the piece was about. The audience appeared to be very engaged in the songs and strongly understood what they both meant, as if he was communicating to them throughout the song. He made very clean crescendos and staccatos and kept the song going smoothly.

  23. The performer Martin Fröst communicates to the audience by moving fast when the crescendos are in the music and moving slow when the decrescendos are in the music. He also bows to his audience and he comes back to do another encore once they will not stop clapping. He also moved around rather than standing still and being boring.

  24. Martin Fröst makes the audience engages and communicates with the audience by moving all around the stage, with his body language, and he also shows all his dynamics by the way he moves. I think It is also a fairly hard piece so that might also get the audience engaged. The audience keeps clapping continuously to show that they like what they heard and that they want another on. This happens twice in the video, but he only plays two pieces and not three. He moves his clarinet up, down and around in circles to show all of the emphasise in the piece and also some emotion.

  25. the performer Martin Fröst communicated with the audience with body language and lots of arm movements to show how he was playing. it would be hard to play a clarinet by himself on stage for 5 minutes and playing 2 songs. the songs pitched change but it was mainly high and the Dynamics were loud so everyone could here him and it also showed that he was confident in what he was playing

  26. Martin Fröst connects with the audience in many different ways. He doesn't just stand still, he moves around the room to add emphasis to the music visually, not just aurally.You can tell that he's putting a lot of emotion into his playing because of the expressions on his face as well as the way he moves. Martin talks to the audience before he performs an encore as well, and bows at the end of his performance as a way of saying 'thanks'. The stand doesn't act as a barrier between the audience and the musician in this performance because he decides to walk around the music stand and not use it (because he's memorised the music.)

  27. Martin Fröst was the clarinet soloist in this video.
    The body language Martin used is amazing, he often moves his body to try to engage with the audience. When watching this video it becomes very clear the Martin Fröst is very passionate about playing this instrument and it is obvious that he has studied this piece, when until it comes to the point when he doesn't need music to perform.
    When it comes to the higher parts in the piece Martin lifts his clarinet. He taps his foot constantly in the video as well, to keep in time with himself because he is the only performer.
    Martin Fröst closed his eyes when he was playing, to be in the moment too. This meant that he was trying to block out the audience and imagining that he was the only one in that room.
    This was a very intriguing performance!

  28. Martin Fröst played the clarinet in this video. He communicated with the audience lots of times. While he played the clarinet he used body language, moved the clarinet around a lot and tossing his head up with the clarinet for a fast breath. When Martin finished his piece and the crowd loved it, everyone was clapping with joy. Martin talked about the piece and then and then he performed two encores. Everyone was overjoyed with his playing.

  29. During the performance the performer really engaged the audience by the posture he was showing and the emotive way he played the pieces. He showed deep emotion when the crescendos came by leaning towards and away from the audience and he moved with the music and really engaged the audience. He also referred to the audience with a bow and a wave.

  30. Martin Fröst is a very engaging performer. He drew in the audience using movement and emotion through expression. The fact that he was not hiding behind a music stand really enabled him to become vulnerable and open to the viewers. Before the second act, he introduced the piece and explained what it was all about, this helped the audience to connect the music. At the end, he bows to show gratitude and thanks towards the crowd.

  31. Martin Fröst played the clarinet. He stood so that his body is straight and moved in small circles with the music with emphasis. You can hear lots of dynamics and pitch thought the whole piece. When there is a sudden noise he bends up and down with his knees.

  32. Martin Fröst is moving around a lot to keep the audience engaged, and interested in what he is doing. Usually he moves the clarinet upwards when there is a crescendo and down when there is a diminuendo/decrescendo. He paced back and forth and made faces for different parts which showed emotion. He also bows at the end of the performance.

  34. Martin Fröst is moving around and using actions to keep the audiences attention on him. He has a strong posture and he uses facial expressions to make the audience feel what he feels. He moves his body posture and clarinet up and down and all around when he is playing an intense part. He knew the song off by heart so wasn't stuck behind a stand and he didn't actually have a song ready because it was an encore.

  35. Martin Fröst uses a lot of body language to communicate what he's playing. He does not acknowledge the audience in any way but he is still able to say what he's playing. He moves his body up and down for the crescendos and decrescendos. He shows the long and short notes in his hands. He is able to use the correct facial expressions to convey what he is trying to say.

  36. He is moving around the stage a lot and is moving his fingers clearly so you can kind of see what he is meant to be doing. He is using effects like crescendos to give the music an effect that makes it more entertaining. He is closing his eyes which also kind of shows passion

  37. I think the performer uses a range of different techniques to communicate with the audience. His body movement draws in the audience he moves up with his body when he crescendos and he uses facial expressions and his eyes too. He steps forward on loud notes and accents. He has very dramatic movements on flourishes and stuff.
    Martin uses all these techniques to communicate very well with the audience.

  38. Martin Fröst was engaging the audience really well by moving around continuously while playing. He played this encore with a massive amount of emotion which made the performance really interesting. He also played the clarinet with his eyes closed so that he could block out the audience and pretend it was only him in the room. When he would play a crescendo he would move the clarinet upwards and down when there was a decrescendo which made the piece a lot more intriguing.

  39. Martin Fröst was the performer. He was moving his clarinet a lot to match the crescendos and decrescendos that he was doing. He dipped and moved around to match the rhythm. He closed his eyes a lot so that he could focus and he didn't have any sheet music to play off.

  40. When he is playing he is moving around and not standing still, and looks like he knows the song really well and is able to playing really well. Also when he is playing decrescendos he moves his heads towards the air and you can tell he is going to play nice loud. Also he is also giving the audience eye contact. And when the song changes his face also changes.

  41. Martin Fröst is constantly moving around to keep the audience engaged. He used dynamics to interest the audience. He does not stay in one spot, he is always moving in some way. He moves the clarinet up when there is a crescendo and moves his clarinet down when there is a diminuendo. He gives eye contact to the audience and keeps them engaged the whole way through the performance. He also closes his eyes completely to focus on the sound.

  42. Martin Fröst is constantly walking around the stage to keep his ordinance occupied while playing he also gives out eye contact to connect with the ordinance.

  43. It seems as if Martin Fröst is telling a story with his body language. He moves like his body is part of the music. When he plays a low note he bends down low and when he plays a high note he raises his head and stands up straight. He doesn't require a music stand so he can really engage and interact with the audience. I didn't notice any mistakes but I am unsure if that is due to the fact that he did not make any or if he didn't show it. At the end of his performance he bows.

  44. Martin Fröst started off with a slow pace that felt rather eerie. He had many crescendos and the tempo changed quite often. He was very focused on his work and gave away no hints of mistakes he may have made. He proceeded to move around as he played however he never left the one main area. His face was fixed in what looked like a focused frown making the area seem slightly fence. The silence of everything aside from the clarinet also added in this. For the majority of the time he stood straight with his eyes fixed on the clarinet. He's movements indicated that what he was doing even if the music couldn't be heard as he had good connections with the audience.

  45. Martin Fröst used intense expressions to communicate with his audience by moving instead of staying in one spot, showing passion in playing the Clarinet instrument. When there is something big (crescendo) in the music, he moves his body up and when it's decrescendo, he moves his body down.
    His audience was engaged with his performance.

  46. Martin frost is constantly moving around as if to keep the audience engaged. he is very focused on what he is doing and shows a kind of pride and passion in his body language.
    Martin constantly closes his eyes to help/concentrate his hearing to his music. his soothing music and calm (at times) body language continues to keep the audience engaged.
