The Clarinet was invented in the early 18^th century by the famous woodwind makers Denner of Nuremberg. It was the first reed-blown instrument with a cylindrical rather than a conical bore, made of boxwood these first clarinets were pitched in C and had six finger-holes and two keys. A third key was added to extend the range and make possible the B at the break. The body was divided into three sections, which allowed interchangeable joints of different length to faciliate playing in different keys. Around 1750 the fourth and fifth keys were added and the foot joint expanded into a bell. In 1760 a sixth key invented by Jean Lefevre was added to give an additional C # and G#. In 1809 Iwan Muller brought out a prototype of his 13 keyed model pitched in Bb which was to become the standard instrument for the next 100 years. Muller published a tutor in 1826. The final major modification occurred between 1839 and 1843 when Hyacinthe Eleonore Klose collaborated with the instrument maker Louis-August Buffet to simplify the fingering system, using the ring-keys Boehm had developed for his flutes.

Notable works for clarinet include:
Mozart Clarinet Concerto K622
Mozart Clarinet Quintet K581
Solos of Louis Spohr and Carl Maria von Weber
George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue
