Music performance Music performance The Boehm System is a system of fingerings, created by inventor and flautist Theobald Boehm in the 1830s which was originally used on the flute and then on a variety of woodwind instruments, including the clarinet, bass clarinet and saxophone. It replaces the older Albert system, and is known predominantly for simplifying the progression of fingerings as one moves up and down the scale. The idea is that one should be able to start at the bottom of the scale by putting all keys down, then move up the major scale one note at a time by simply lifting one finger at a time. In reality, of course, this is only partially realized. The saxophone probably comes closest to the ideal, having fewer irregular fingerings than the clarinet; and a true octave key, which neither the clarinet nor the flute possesses. ...more on Wikipedia about "Boehm System"

In music, solo means to play or sing alone. This does not necessarily mean that no one else is playing at that time, only that the soloist's part is the most prominent. Solos are opportunities for musicians to demonstrate their musicianship, as well as creativity, in case of improvised solos. In jazz, solos are usually improvised. It is common for two or more musicians to improvise together, trading ideas as they alternate playing - a musical conversation of sorts. ...more on Wikipedia about "Solo (music)"
