This may not feature the clarinet you seek.  But it's still pretty good.

So is the somewhat excessive repetiveness of the music just a feature of
the limited capabilities of the guitar playings.  Although, even the
drum is just playing a simple pattern over and over again.

I don't know. I just found it mildly enjoyable. I certainly enjoyed this more than the clarinet playing Flight of the Bumblebee a million times too fast without any heart.


It may be midi-syndrome.  People who don't play an instrument tend to do
a poor job of making tracks for them, drums especially.

I don't know about that, but maybe not playing an instrument allows me to enjoy it more than if I did. I can't say that I want to keep on hearing it over and over. But I did enjoy it enough to listen a second time.

I admit that it certainly has a long way to go before it even comes close to the caliber of a regular human band. Personally, I can't get enough of this one:

Just the music track alone is kinda simple, even comical. But combined with the video, it's quite amusing. It was designed to kinda show the main things in Lithuania. They love basketball and monster trucks, among other things.

I became pen pals with someone in Lithuania and she pointed me to the video.
