- The A-flat (A♭) clarinet is a member of the clarinet family, smaller and sounding a perfect fourth higher than the E♭ clarinet. The A♭ is rare, but even less common, obsolete instruments in high C, B♭, and A♮ (an octave above the more common instruments in those keys) are listed by Shackleton. Some writers call the A♭ and these other instruments octave clarinets, sopranino clarinets, or piccolo clarinets. The boundary between the octave and soprano clarinets is not well-defined, and the rare instruments in G and F might be considered as either. Shackleton, along with many early twentieth-century composers, uses the term "piccolo clarinet" to refer to the E♭ and D clarinets as well (piccolo merely meaning "small" in Italian). This designation is less common today, with the E♭ and D instruments more usually designated soprano clarinets. The term "piccolo clarinet" is used by some recent music software (e.g., Finale) for the A♭ clarinet. The A♭ clarinet is pitched a minor seventh higher than the B♭ clarinet. Its lowest note, E, sounds as concert middle C, the same as many concert flutes. Clarinets pitched in A♭ appeared frequently in European wind bands, particularly in Spain and Italy, at least through the middle of the 20th century, and are called for in the stage-band parts for several operas by Verdi. Cecil Forsyth associated the high instruments with Austria saying, "Clarinets in (high) F, and even in (high) A♭ are occasionally used abroad. The latter instrument is regularly employed in the Austrian military bands." A famous example of extensive use of a high clarinet in a Viennese small ensemble was the Schrammel quartet, consisting of two violins (the brothers Johann and Josef Schrammel), a contraguitar, and G clarinet, played by Georg Dänzer, during the 1880s. The A♭ clarinet is not uncommon in clarinet choir arrangements—for instance, those of Lucien Cailliet, including Mozart's Marriage of Figaro overture—though the instrument is often optional or cued in other voices. There are parts for A♭ clarinet in Béla Bartók's Scherzo for Piano and Orchestra, op. 2 ("mostly in unison with the E♭ or piccolo [flute]") and in John Tavener's Celtic Requiem (1969). Several chamber works of Hans-Joachim Hespos employ the A♭ clarinet,including the wild go which also features soprano sarrusophone, heckelphone, and tárogató. Hespos also uses the A♭ clarinet in the orchestral work Interactions. Matthijs Vermeulen's Symphony Nr. 4 has a part for A♭ clarinet. At least four manufacturers currently produce A♭ clarinets: (featured in the pictures), Orsi Instruments, Seggelke Klarinetten and Buffet Crampon. Leblanc had produced A♭ clarinets prior to their acquisition by Conn-Selmer in 2004, but has since ceased production. Ripamonti produces both German and French system (including Full Boehm) A♭ clarinets. Schwenk and Seggelke make German system clarinets in A♭ and high G. (en)
- El clarinete piccolo, también llamado clarinete sopranino, es un instrumento de viento-madera perteneciente a la familia del clarinete. Es el miembro más pequeño y de registro más agudo de la familia. No es un instrumento común, pero el clarinete piccolo más utilizado está afinado en La♭ (bemol), una octava superior al clarinete soprano. El límite entre estos dos clarinetes no está bien definido y los inusuales instrumentos afinados en Sol o en Fa pueden ser considerados como ambos. Actualmente, el clarinete piccolo afinado en La♭ es el clarinete moderno que se conoce comúnmente como sopranino. Tiene una tesitura una séptima menor más alta que el clarinete soprano en Si♭. Su nota más baja es mi, al igual que la mayoría de Clarinetes. En las bandas de música, especialmente en España e Italia, aparecían clarinetes afinados en La♭ frecuentemente por lo menos hasta mediados del siglo XX y se necesitan para interpretar varias piezas en las óperas de Verdi. relacionado con los instrumentos altos en Austria, escribió "En aras de la exhaustividad cabe añadir que en clarinetes en Fa (alto), e incluso en La♭ (alto) son ocasionalmente utilizados en el extranjero. Este último instrumento es empleado con regularidad en el bandas militares de Austria". Un ejemplo famoso de un uso extendido de un clarinete alto es un pequeño conjunto vienés llamado Schrammel quartet, integrado por dos violines (los hermanos Johann y Josef Schrammel), un bajo y un clarinete en Sol, interpretado por Dänzer de Georg, durante la década de 1880. El clarinete en La♭ no es frecuente en los arreglos para coro de clarinetes (por ejemplo, los de Lucien Calliet, incluyendo la obertura de Las bodas de Fígaro de Mozart ) aunque el instrumento suele ser opcional o aconsejado en otras voces. Hay partes para clarinete en La♭ en Scherzo para piano y orquesta, op. 2 de Béla Bartók ("sobre todo en unísono con el clarinete en Mi♭ o piccolo") y en Celtic Requiem de John Tavener (1969). Varias obras de cámara de emplean un clarinete en La♭, incluyendo partes para sarrusofón soprano, heckelfón, y tarogato. Hespos también utiliza el clariente en La♭ en su obra para orquesta Interactions. (es)
