Clarinet
Description
The sound of the clarinet always reminds me of Israel. In Mannheim, one can hear it being played by buskers and also in jazz and orchestra concerts. The clarinet is an instrument which characterises the bond between Israel and global Jewish culture. At the same time it represents cosmopolitanism, because it incorporates local melodies and rhythms. The best setting to hear the clarinet is at parties and celebrations, because its sound spurs people to dance.
