WW258: Five
Dialogues for
Flute and Clarinet
by John Addison. Emerson Edition, 1992, SS, 13 pages in score format.
John Addison (1920-1998) was a British composer (who studied both
oboe and clarinet) best known for his film scores. This piece was part
of a project by the publisher to commission works for these two
instruments from composers whose writing for wind instruments was
particularly skillful and imaginative. The dialogs are: I. Prelude al
scherzo (Allegretto), II. Air (Andante), III. Caprice (Allegro
moderato/Andante), IV. Entracte (Moderato), and V. Valse (Tempo di
Valse). College level (although the slower movements are easier).![]() (Except other items with free shipping.) |

WW257: Pit
Band for Alto Saxophone, Bass Clarinet and Piano
by William Albright. C.F. Peters, 1996, SS. (includes parts and piano
score). This work, with its unusual ensemble of three haphazard
instruments--a pick-up band--attemps to digest an evening-long musical
comedy in a few minutes (8 to be precise). The program is: Tune-up and
Introduction, Overture, Opening Number, Vamps and Screams ("Nessun
dorma"), Love Song, Waltz, alla Marcia, Fox-trot and Shimmeys, and
Finale. An advanced work with some high altissimo for both instruments,
but without the nasty key changes found in most musicals. |

WW255: Grand
Fantasia for Flute, Clarinet (or Trumpet)
and Piano
by Malcolm Arnold. Queen's Temple Publications, 2004, SS, (includes
parts and piano
score). This piece was written in 1940 for flute, trumpet (played by
the composer) and piano. It is not surprising that the clarinet is now
listed first on the cover as the part would be more difficult on the
trumpet than the clarinet. A sectional piece including a czardas,
tango, blues, waltz and other elements. Early college level with a
duration of 10 minutes.![]() |

WW125: Le Calme de la Mer Trio for Flute, Clarinet and Piano by Tony Aubin. Alphonse Leduc, 1964, SS, (includes parts and piano score). A suggested piece for this combination.

marvelous interweaving of exquisite lines. In this transcription the
clarinet takes the oboe line while the flute takes the violin line.

Bach's delightful tenor aria Frohe Hirten, eilt, ach eilet! (Joyous

clarinet taking the vocal line. The two parts interweave and then join
in running roulades that challenge both fingers and breath. Ich will
leiden, ich will schweigen from Cantata BWV 87: A tenor aria
(translated as I would suffer, I would keep silent) transcribed for
flute and clarinet duo. The clarinet takes the vocal line while the
flute takes the violin line, in this poignant, pastorale-like aria that
embraces both sorrow and comforting. Click on

SS,
(includes parts and piano score). Daniel Bimbi (1971-) was born in
Carcassonne in
Southern France. He studied clarinet with Guy Deplus and more recently

finale, both humorous and exciting. College level with a duration of
about 7 minutes.![]() |

WW132: Shadows Duo for Flute and Clarinet by Jane Brockman. Arsis Press, 1985, SS, 7 pages (score format). The tradition of imitation which has historically inspired two-voice music can be likened to an object and its shadow, continually evident in this composition. At times, the instrumental identities become obscured, and one is not certain which instrument is playing which line. Also, the musical language of Richard Wagner still has much relevance for this composer. It is his shadow which is 'felt' throughout the work as the leitmotiv of Kundry (from Parsifal) is employed melodically, but without its characteristic rhythm--and in a new context. A college level work with a duration of about 6 minutes. | |

WW143: Four Pieces for
Flute and Clarinet
by Newel Kay Brown. Tenuto Publications, 1968, SS, two copies in score

WW335: Esprit Rude/Esprit
Doux for Flute and Clarinet by Elliot Carter.
Boosey & Hawkes, 1985, SS, 8 pages in
score format.
The title means Rough Breathing/Smooth Breathing. It was composed for
Pierre Boulez's 60th birthday in 1985. The title refers to the
pronunciation of classical Greek words beginning with a vowel or an R.
There is an explanation of how this applies to the music in English,
French and German. Advanced college level. Click on

WW326: Three
Bagatelles from China West Duet for Flute and Clarinet by
Chen Yi. Theodore Presser Co., 2009/2014, SS, 10 pages in score format.
This piece
was originally written for flute and piano but seven additional
versions have been created. The three bagatelles are I. Shan Ge
(Lightly), II. Nai Guo Hou (Lively) and III. Dou Duo (Simply). As
befits a piece originally for solo flute, the flute is the star and the
clarinet is mostly in an accompanying role. In the first movement the
flute is playing the melody (freely) while the clarinet has short
rhythmic statements. In the second movement, the clarinet plays the
melody. The flute enters after bar 23 with an obbligato part while the
clarinet repeats the melody. In the third movement (which is the source
of our example) the flute plays a melody while the clarinet plays a
rhythmic accompaniment of 16th notes. College level. Click on

intermediate duets with parts in C, B-flat, E-flat, and bass clef. The

WW138: Prélude a l'après-midi d'un faune
(Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun) arranged for
Flute, Clarinet and Piano by Claude Debussy arranged by
Michael
Webster. International Music, 1994, SS. This piece is one of the most
popular flute solos in the repertoire, but as the arranger writes,
adapting it for flute and piano has not been very successful because
there is too much music to be covered by two instruments. Adding the
clarinet produces a more satisfactory result. Both A and B-flat
clarinet parts are included. The duration is about 9:20.![]() |

WW158: Two Cats for
Flute and B-flat Clarinet
by Daniel Dorff. Tenuto Publications, 2008, SS, 8 pages. In score
format with two copies. Close on the heels (paws?) of his already
popular Three Romances,
composer Daniel Dorff has presented us with another flute and clarinet
duet. The composer's program notes are as follows: "Being quite fond of
my flutist-partner's two cats, I chose this opportunity to make musical
portraits of Hootie, a handsome and elegant 20-pound tuxedo cat, and
Tiki, a petite bengal princess. Hootie's music is generally in a slow
pulse with lyrical 16ths flowing, just as Hootie is pensive and
outwardly still, while clearly being very busy inside. The final phrase
is marked snoozendo poco a poco. The final measures of the Hootie
movement are identical to the beginning of the Tiki movement, just as
in reality one cat's end is sometimes notably close to the other's
beginning. After a 'peacefully lurking' introduction, Tiki's remarkable
showcat grace and playful lightness are set as an effervescent scherzo,
including some double-tonguing (after all, her name is ti-ki), a bit of
fluttertonguing as Tiki can sound herself, and with a regally strutted
circus march in the middle of the scherzo." College level with a
duration of about 8:15. |

an occasional arrangement) by composer such as Paul Harvey, James Rae,
Paul Harris, and many more. C319: Copper Clarinet Ensemble Pieces. ABRSM, 2004, SS, 16 pages. This beginner level book has 7 duets, 5 trios, and 4 quartets. All in the lower register.

C2681: Afro Latin Clarinet Duets
edited and composed by Florian Brambock. Universal Edition, 2019, SS,
34 pages. When you explore the contents of this book you will immerse
yourself in the exotic world of Afro-Latin-Jazz, an exciting form of
music fusing African and Caribbean dance rhythms with American Jazz.
Latin music has roots not only in Central and South-American folk music
but is also strongly influenced by music from Africa. In particular the
rhythmic richness and exotic flavour of Afro-Latin-Jazz can be traced
to the traditions of African music, which left its characteristic mark
during the colonial period in America. These easy to moderately
difficult clarinet duos serve as an introduction to the genre
presenting some Latin and African grooves. Original compositions as
well as arrangements of well-known melodies will introduce new sound
and rhythmic elements to help develop your technique and ensemble
playing. Contents: Pata Pata; Chan Chan; Guajira Guantanamera; Choro di
carvalhos; La Cucaracha; Rondo Tobago; El puesto de las butifarras;
Meerenge, mehr Weite; Praising Burundi; Cielito lindo; Thé a la

intermediate duets with parts in C, B-flat, E-flat, and bass clef. The

signatures, articulations, tempi, dynamics, keys, styles and rhythmic
complexity. They were written to be short and fun. Click on

and Orchestra (Piano
Reduction) by François
Devienne edited by Himie Voxman. Musica Rara/Breitkopf, 1973, includes
parts and piano score. The symphonie concertant form was most popular
in France where Devienne was a leading composer. This work is believed
to have been written sometime between 1788 when it may have first been
performed and 1794 when it was published. In two movements: Allegro
Moderato and Rondo (Allegretto). There is a joint cadenza at the end of
the first movement. The editor writes that it is still popular today
due to its "pleasing melodic line" and idiomatic treatment of the
clarinet. College level. |

of a theme and variation, is the movement which traditionally
highlights the virtuosic abilities of each player." Early college

in A (or Clarinet in A and Viola) and Piano
by Elie Siegmeister. Carl Fischer, SS. Elie Siegmeister (1909-1991) was
an American composer, educator and author. This is a challenging and
exciting piece that was composed for Stanley and Naomi Drucker and

from a manuscript which appears to have had a number of corrections
(cut and paste) especially in the first few pages. It is supplied with
a piano score, and a part with the first and second clarinet part and
another with the first clarinet and viola part, so when played by two
clarinetists they each have their own part. Duration about 16
minutes. When

this piece (from the CD) is was a rental only. We have pestered Carl
Fischer/Presser sufficiently that they have decided to make it
available as a custom print. Sorry about the price.![]() |

Set for Two Clarinets by
William O. Smith. Universal Edition, 1986, SS, 12 pages. The composer
(who is also known as Bill Smith)
wrote, "I
have written several Jazz
Sets
for various instruments. They have in common a combination of jazz
rhythms with atonal melodic lines derived from 12-note sets. Although
they may be played by jazz players in a jazz style, they may be
performed equally well by players without jazz experience. I hope that
they are easy enough for any good clarinetist to perform and
enjoy." There are five original
duets in score format with some variation in difficulty. (Except other items with free shipping.) |

play it in harmony. The bass clarinet part is primarily rhythmic
accompaniment. This is based on the versions for solo clarinet in
