Just leave that to the Swedes… Clarinetist Martin Fröst (perhaps Sweden’s biggest export since Ikea), has posted a hilarious video by the Het Concertgebouw Amsterdam on his Facebook page showing a fictional clarinetist named “Dirk” preparing for a solo recital. At the curtain call, Dirk is surprised to find an Ikea “Klårynett,” which he must put together himself. He tosses the directions away (his first mistake) and struggles to pieces it together in time. Watch the video and find out what happens.
