I play Trumpet Flute and Clarinet and i am always being asked the same question. All three instruments have different qualities which make them harder than others so you can't really choose between them. For example the clarinet and flute can play up to G (4th ledger line). They find it easier to reach higher notes than the trumpet because the trumpeter has to have a stronger embrasure. However the trumpet only has 3 valves which a player uses in diffrent combinations to get up to C (two octaves above middle C) the flute and clarinet have many more
hope than answered your question
(p.s if anybody says otherwise there just obsessed with their instrument)

∙ 14y agoThere are many difficult Clarinet pieces out there, but among the ones that I have heard and or played, id say the most difficult is either Rossini's Introduction, Theme, and Variations or Mozart's Clarinet Concerto. Other difficult clarinet pieces that I've come across are both Solo de Concours by Rabaud and Messager, Copland's Clarinet Concerto, Stravinsky's 3 Solo's for Clarinet, Poulenc's Sonata, Premiere Rhapsodie by Debussy, and Finzi's Clarinet Concerto or his Five Bagatelles.

∙ 12y agoI don't know what the absolute hardest song would be, but "Flight of the Bumblebee" by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and "The Stars And Stripes Forever" by John Philip Sousa are both pretty tricky. The difference is that Bumblebee is a solo (with piano background) and Stars And Stripes is for a full band and has a normal flute/piccolo part up until this really hard solo.

∙ 11y agoMost experienced players would agree that the soprano (and higher) saxes are the most difficult. They require a stronger embouchure (the muscles around the mouth) and are difficult to play in tune, even for experienced players.
Young players might find the baritone or tenor difficult because of their size and weight, but that doesn't tend to be a problem for high school students or older players.

Somewhat. The Bass Clarinet sounds an octave lower than the Bb Clarinet. It is also much bigger and requires much more air, as well as a looser embrochure. There are also a couple extra keys (depending on your model) that allow you to play even lower than low E.
Why do bass clarinets play in orchestras?
Bass clarinets play in orchestras because orchestras sometimes play pieces that are scored for bass clarinet, or have bass clarinet parts in it. One example of a piece like that is The Rite Of Spring, by Igor Stravinsky. It has significant solos and duets by the bass clarinet, and "the show cannot go on" without the bass clarinet. But most pieces, do not have bass clarinet parts, so the bass clarinet is rarely seen in orchestras today.
