C634: Gnarly Buttons Reduction for Clarinet and
Piano by John Adams. Boosey & Hawkes, 1996, SS, 40 +
15 pages. Written for Michael Collins and premiered by him.Three
movements: I. The Perilous Shore, II. Hoedown (Mad Cow), and III. Put
Your Loving
Arms Around Me. An advanced, professional level piece. "Adams' most personal and cathartic work, Gnarly Buttons is a memorial tribute to his father, using the clarinet, his father's instrument, to trace and salute his father's pervasive influence upon his own life and career. It opens with the scales his father taught him to practice, and then alludes to Benny Goodman (whom his father revered), the marching bands and community orchestra in which they played together, and the emergence and development from such roots of Adams' own eclectic musical style. It ends with the confusion, pain and vulnerability of his father's final dementia (during which he became obsessed that someone was trying to steal his instruments) and a brief, peaceful elegy. A curious mélange when heard in the abstract, Gnarly Buttons becomes acutely poignant in context." -- Copyright 2001 by Peter Gutmann used with permission. |

C2101: Pacific Serenade for clarinet and piano
by Miguel del Aguila. Peermusic, 2001/2013, SS, 15 + 6 pages. Miguel
del Águila (1957-) is an Uruguayan-born American composer of
contemporary classical music. Written in 1998 and originally for
clarinet and string quartet, Pacific Serenade was commissioned by
Pacific Serenades Ensemble who premiered it 1998 in Los Angeles.
In general the music is extremely quiet, delicate, sensuous and
sentimental. The sensuousness is created by the use of South American
folkloric idioms, especially the Brazilian choro, which is at times
combined with Blues melodies and Jazz harmony. In this version for
clarinet and piano, some movements are expanded and some piano
harmonies are . The clarinet part remains close to the original.
Early college level with some glissandos. Here
is a performance of the first movement (of four with the clarinet tacit
on
the very brief third movement). |

Piano by Malcolm Arnold. Lengnick, 1951, SS, 16 + 7 pages.
This piece is in
three movements: Allegro con brio, Andantino, and Furioso with the
middle movement as a quiet interlude between powerful outer
movements. It is tonal but with some dissonance. The clarinet
part is well written, with many repeated figurations, and the range
spans
two and one-half registers. The Sonatina is similar in style and
difficulty to Arnold's Concerto and is excellent repertoire for
the college clarinetist and is also suitable for professional recitals.       |

Glories, Heartsease, Mignonette, Rosemary and Rue, and Honeysuckle.

direction) he described this concerto as having many "Benny-isms." "The
first movement is in roughly Sonata-Allegro form and has a strong
Goodman nuance, as does the slow 12-beat-to-the-bar second movement.
The last movement alternates a Brazilian chorino with an ebullient
Ravelian waltz". The movements are marked: I. Allegro, II. Cantabile
(with a jazz feeling), and III. Scherzo-finale (Quasi una cadenza, ma
in tempo)/Allegro assai (A chorinho tempo, slightly swung)/(concluding)

C2016: Clarinet
Concertino for
Clarinet and String Orchestra (Piano Reduction) by Jordi
Cervelló.
Editorial de Música Boileau, 2009, SS, 24 + 10 pages. This
clarinet concertino is based on the composers Concertino for Violin and
String Orchestra, composed in 1993. At that time he had already
sketched both versions for solo clarinet and flute. It is a work of
length similar to the concertos of the Baroque and divided in three
typical movements. Two quick framing one slow. The first two - Allegro
burlesco and Adagio cantabile follow the ABA form. The third
begins with a cadenza using thematic material from the previous slow
movement to link without interruption with the Presto. It uses main
ideas from the first movement but in 3/4 instead of 4/4 and at a
somewhat faster tempo. Another clarinet cadenza leads to the jovial and
brief final coda. College level. This
page from the publisher's web site has recorded excerpts and some of
the
score of the orchestral version (which didn't all display properly). |

Coda.

C616: Sonata for Clarinet and Piano
by Aaron
Copland. Boosey & Hawkes, 1988, SS, 32 + 12 pages. Transcribed
by
the composer from his Sonata for Violin and Piano (1943). The clarinet
part was edited by Timothy Paradise. In three movements: Andante
semplice, Lento, and Allegretto giusto. Prof. Norman Heim wrote: The
style is typical of Copland at the time of Appalachian Spring and has
similarities with the Concerto for clarinet. There is some use of
polytonality and minimal dissonance with a score has a lean texture
that contrasts with full sonorities. The clarinet part is not
adventuresome but extends in range to the middle of altissimo
register. Musically, the work requires advanced performers with the
piano accompaniment, perhaps, more demanding than clarinet part. This
transcription is excellent music by one of the outstanding composers of
the twentieth century. |

Crusell and is excellent recital repertoire for the professional and
advanced college students. This edition has optional cuts marked in the
first movement to eliminate long orchestra passages when played with
piano. Here
is an audio recording with orchestra. Click on the cover

C1133: Aida di G. Verdi Fantasia Op. 240 for Clarinet and Piano by Giusto Dacci edited by Colin Bradbury. Lazarus Edition, 2003, SS, 23 + 11 pages.

His compositions, over 500 in all, include songs, piano pieces, chamber music and operatic fantasies for various instruments, including five for clarinet and piano. The fantasia on Aida was published approximately two years after the first performance of Verdi's opera at the Cairo Opera House (24 December 1871). It makes free use of the priests' motive first heard in the opera's prelude to link together a selection of the work's best known tunes. An advanced work. |

by Franz Danzi edited by György Balassa. Schott, 1971, SS,
35 + 7
pages. This piece is sometimes titled Sonata Concertante. Three
movements: Allegro, Andante sostenuto, and Allegretto. Prof Heim wrote,
"The first movement is written as solo piano with obbilgato clarinet,
the second movement features a very beautiful melodice style in the
clarinet with fully-scored piano accompaniment, and the third movement
is a theme with several variations and a long coda. The rhythmic
structure of the measures is unusual. Recommended for college and
professional level receitals. The piano part requires an excellent
performer." |

C1688: Brooklyn Bridge
Reduction for Solo B-flat
Clarinet and
Piano by Michael Daugherty. Boosey & Hawkes,
2004/2008, SS, 45

inspired by the stunning views from the Brooklyn Bridge. In four
movements (each of which represents a view): I. East, II. South, III.
West, and IV. North. When performed with band the work is unusual as it
puts a clarinet choir (of 6 B-flat clarinets, 2 bass clarinets and
E-flat contra) in front of the rest of the band. Here
is Steve
Cohen playing the first movement in a YouTube video. |

C2627:
Sonata for Clarinet and Piano
by Peter Maxwell Davies. Chester, 1989, SS, 30 + 10 pages. Peter
Maxwell Davies (1934-2016) was an English composer and conductor. This
work, which was written shortly after the Trumpet Sonata and the Five
Pieces For Piano, was first performed by Georgina Dobree and the
composer at the 1957 Darmstadt Festival. The score was subsequently
lost, but was rediscovered by Kevin Corner in 1983. This is a dramatic,
emphatic and at times extravagant piece. The first movement is a
Moderato reaching through wide-flung clarinet lines and keen piano
gestures to a great climax near the end. Then comes a quick movement, a
kind of demonic scherzo, including a cadenza for the clarinetist. The
finale is an Adagio that gradually achieves a sort of simplicity,
though not before exceedingly testing times for both players. Duration
is about 25 minutes. This is an advanced work for both the clarinetist
and pianist. Click

C2624: Premiere Rhapsodie for Clarinet and Piano
by Claude Debussy edited by Douglas Woodfull-Harris. Baerenreiter,
2017, SS, 25 + 5 pages. Debussy’s Première Rhapsodie is one of
two concertante works completed, premiered and published during his
lifetime. He was commissioned
to write it in 1909 for the final examination at the Paris
Conservatoire in 1910. Debussy orchestrated
it in the summer of 1911. While transferring the clarinet part from the
already published version
for clarinet and piano, he made a few subtle changes, particularly in
m. 201, which has been a bone of contention among clarinettist's for
over a century. The present scholarly-critical publication
is the first Urtext edition of the orchestral version. It draws on
every known source and takes into account a previously ignored source
that sheds light on the piece. Includes an introduction in
English, French and German as well as Sources and Critical Commentary
in English. Click

C642: First Sonata for Clarinet and
Piano by
Francoise Devienne edited by Jean-Pierre Dautel and revised by Jacques
Lancelot. Editions Musicales Transatlantiques, 1962, SS, 18 + 8 pages.
Devienne, Francois (1759-1803) was a flutist and bassoonist, and
professor at the Paris Conservatory. In three movements: Allegro con
spiritoso (C), Adagio (2/4) and Rondo allegretto (6/8).
Professor
Heim wrote that the solo part is scored principally in the upper two
registers and is florid with ornamentation figures making this work
more difficult. The Adagio is played with one beat to the measure and
has many fast notes while the Rondo has a Mozartian flavor. This is
good material for college and professional recitals.  |

C643: Second Sonata for Clarinet and

Lancelot. Editions Musicales Transatlantiques, 1962, SS, 19 + 8 pages.
The Second Sonata is in three movements: Allegro
con spiritoso
(4/4), Adagio (3/8) and Rondeau (2/4). The range is more limited than
in the first sonata but still requires good technique. Some
embellishments and sixteenth-note groupings may present a problem in
the first movement. The second movement is florid, and the Rondo is
more like Weber than Mozart. This is also a good sonata for college and
professional level recitals. |

C2507: Summer Solstice for Clarinet and Strings Piano Reduction by Daniel Dorff. Presser, 1993/2017, 27 + 10 pages. This work is for clarinet in A. The composer wrote: "In 1986 I began a 'Lyric Quintet' for Clarinet and String Quartet, composing two movements of the projected three that year. . . . Coming back 6 years later with a fresh point of view, I decided this would be better for Clarinet and String Orchestra. This change to a larger string ensemble allows the thick jazz chords to be played more richly and smoothly, allows the contrasts of solo strings and tuttis, and brings the advantages of having a conductor. Having started life as intimately blended chamber music rather than a concerto, the music tends to use the clarinet as a balanced ensemble member at least as much as a soloist, and there are also many solo passages for strings. Only the third movement was originally conceived for full string orchestra, leading the final movement to have more dramatic contrasts between clarinet and strings. The music has a light, summery feel, and the friendly relationship of the clarinet to the strings somehow struck me as a solstice-like meeting point, therefore the title 'Summer Solstice.'" |

C824: Concerto
for
Clarinet and Orchestra (Piano
Reduction) by Jean Françaix. Editions Musicales
Transatlantiques, 2013, 45 + 18 pages. This is a edition of this
work. It was decided that the piano reduction in the previous edition
was too difficult to execute correctly. A one has been prepared
by
Claude Françaix (the composer's daughter) and
Tiziana de Carolis. In 1992 this work was performed by Phillipe Cuper
under the direction of the composer. It was determined that the tempos
were too fast in each movement and that has been corrected here. This
is a difficult contemporary (1968) French concerto in four
movements: Allegro, Scherzando, Andantino, and Allegrissimo. |

C897: Sonatine for
Clarinet and Piano by
Pierre Gabaye. Leduc, 1959, SS, 19 + 8 pages. Pierre Gabaye (1930-2000)
studied under Aubin at the Paris Conservatory. He is most noted for his
works for wind instruments with piano. In three movements: Allegro,
Largo and Prestissimo. The first movement is in the style of a prelude;
the second movement is florid; while third movement is like a rondo.
The clarinet part requires ample technique; although range is limited
mostly to the lower two registers. The piano part has the greater
challenge; requiring a strong, mature performer. This is good material
for the college level player. |

excellent music for recitals (early college level). |

C1126: Romance for
Clarinet and Piano by
Edward German edited by Colin Bradbury. Lazarus Edition, 1998, SS, 11 +
2 pages. Edward German (1862-1936) studied at the Royal Academy of
Music, studying harmony and counterpoint with Prout and winning organ
and violin as well as composition prizes. Although eventually
overshadowed by that of his friend Elgar, German's music
enjoyed great
success in the later Victorian and Edwardian periods, ranging from
symphonies, suites and concert overtures to ballads and salon pieces.
The Romance dates from German's early years as a professional
composer,
and was originally one of a pair (of which the other is now lost). The
first known performance was by Oscar Street (1869-1923), a pupil of
George Clinton, at the Oxford University Musical Union on January 29,
1890. This piece is not difficult and is suitable for intermediate
level clarinetists.

originally called) was written for Manuel Gomez, who gave the first
performance at a Prom in September 1898. The Observer described the
work as "simply a little gem. A theme of great simplicity and haunting
beauty, full of grace and tenderness and developed with considerable
skill and variety of resource, places this little work among the most
successful of Mr. German's smaller pieces." Upper intermediate level
with a duration of about 5 minutes.

C1620: Blues da Un Americano a Parigi
for Clarinet
and Piano
by George Gershwin arranged by Michele Mangani with clarinet
elaboration by Hengel Gualdi. Edizioni Eufonia, SS, 6 + 2
pages. After a number of requests we have made this clarinet solo based
on An American in Paris our first direct import from Italy. We have
found two somewhat different performances on YouTube that will give you
a good idea of what this sounds like (neither of these play straight
through on my computer). The first
has a small amount of improvisation (most of the jazz is written out)
and is with orchestral accompaniment that does not come across very
well. The second
is at a slower tempo than the first, sticks more closely to what is
written, is with band accompaniment that sounds good, but last 16 bars
or so are missing. We can get the accompanying parts. The orchestral
version would be approximately $150 and the band edition $125. The
duration is a little less than 4 minutes. (Except other items with free shipping.) |

C514: George Gershwin's Preludes for
Piano adapted for solo clarinet and piano by James Cohn. Warner
Bros., 1987,
SS, 12 + 6 pages. This piece is often referred to as the Three
Preludes for Piano. This arrangement is by composer James Cohn. The
first and third preludes are quite
challenging and will require a player with excellent technique. The
second prelude (which is for A clarinet) is much easier and can
probably be played by most competent high school players and above. Click on the cover

C2441:
George Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue
transcribed for clarinet and piano by Frederic Cellier. Editions Henry
Lemoine, 2013, SS, 38 + 9 pages. From Gregory Barrett' review in Clarinet:
French clarinetist Frédéric Cellier has followed in the footsteps of
George Gershwin's
original orchestrator, Ferde Grofé, ... Cellier's full page written
introduction to this transcription recounts Gershwin's compositional
inspirations and the importance to him of the clarinet as well as the
piano. Cellier's version retains the entire form of the well-known
Grofé orchestration and, for the most part, retains the solo piano's
writing in the clarinet/piano version. Smartly, Cellier does
occasionally move melodic writing from the piano into the clarinet to
more equally balance the role of clarinet and piano. The clarinet plays
the expected licks and the main melodic lines whether they are from
woodwind, string or brass in Grofé's familiar version. Both musicians
will be very busy from start to finish, even the more so if the
clarinetist takes the bass clarinet option in place of clarinet for two
sixteen measure sections. Have fun! Click on the cover

C2571:
Summertime for Clarinet and Piano
by George Gershwin and Henghel Gualdi transcribed by Michele Mangani.
Edizioni Eufonia, SS, 4 + 2 pages + CD. Henghel
Gualdi (1924-2005) was an Italian jazz clarinetist who was considered
by many to be the best Italian jazz clarinetist of all time. We believe
this is a transcription of how he played Summertime. A wonderful piece,
but for performance the clarinetist needs to be comfortable with the
jazz style. Range to altissimo B-flat. We believe the CD is a string
accompaniment. Click here to see a
performance of this edition. Click on the cover

C2287: George Gershwin's Three Preludes for Clarinet and Piano transcribed and arranged by Charles Neidich. Lauren Keiser Music Publishing, 1927/2014, SS, 10 + 4 (+1) pages. Taking inspiration from Jascha Heifetz' masterful transcription of George Gershiwn's wonderfully original Three Preludes, clarinetist Charles Neidich has created a work that functions as a real duet between the clarinet and piano. Rather than simply transpose the Heifetz violin part, Neidich adapted the work to fit the clarinet, taking what works well and changing other parts, often returning to Gershwin's original to fit the character of the clarinet. The transcription includes an A clarinet part in E minor for those who find the second Prelude's original key of D-sharp minor daunting.

1937 film Shall We Dance which starred Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
Suitable for clarinetists who can play this piece with panache which
will include many better high school students and up. This would also
be a good encore piece to end a clarinet recital. The duration is about

The first movement begins with a brief Adagio which is followed by an extended cadenza and then the rest of the first movement with a variety of time signatures and tempos (beginning with Moderato in 7/4). The second movement is Adagio with a cadenza in the middle and an accelerando at the end. The third and final movement begins Allegro (in 15/8 in groups of 3), this is followed by section with a jazz feel, and another with some very wide intervals. Near the end is another cadenza. An advanced college level work (there is no extended technique although there is some high altissimo) with a duration of 14 minutes. The orchestral parts are available as a rental. |

C434: Sonata II for B-flat
Clarinet and Piano
by Arsenio Giron. Woodwindiana, 2003, SS, 24 + 8 pages. Arsenio Giron
was born in Renteria, Spain in 1932 and immigrated to York in
1942.
Giron studied music at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Tulane
University and finally Washington University before immigrating to
Canada in 1968. Giron has been commissioned by several performing
ensembles, and has written works for piano, orchestra, band, wind
ensemble, chorus, solo voice, and string ensemble. Retired as professor
emeritus from the University of Western Ontario, he still maintains a
busy composition schedule. Sonata II (1996), like
most music by
Arsenio Girón, makes equal demands of its performers, both
clarinetist
and pianist. A conservative, contemporary work which emphasizes linear
gestures--often requiring much technical skill--rapid tempos, lively
rhythms and tight interlocking motifs. Four movements and a duration of
about 15 minutes. |

C1132: Two Pieces Op. 26 (Evening

Clarinet and Piano by Otto Goldschmidt edited by Colin Bradbury.
Lazarus Edition, 1999, SS, 18 + 4 pages. Otto Goldschmidt (1829-1907)
was born in Hamburg and studied piano and composition at the Leipzig
Conservatorium under Bülow and Mendelssohn. He married
the great
Swedish soprano Jenny Lind in 1852 and settled in London in 1858. His
Two Pieces for clarinet and piano were published in 1900 with a
dedication 'to my friend Oscar W. Street.' Evening (Adagio) is in fact
a straight transcription of a song published nearly fifty years earlier
as the second of Goldschmidt's Sechs Lieder Op. 9, a setting of a poem
by Hölty entitled Gruss an den Abend. The quotation in the
Rondo
Caprice(Vivace/Andantino) is presumably from another early song, as yet
unidentified.(Evening

C1578: Concerto for clarinet and orchestra (piano reduction) by Ida Gotkovsky. Editions Musicales Transatlantiques, 1968, SS, 42 + 15 pages. Ida Gotkovsky (1933-) is a French composer who studied with Nöel Gallon, Oliver Messiaen, Tony Aubin and Nadia Boulanger. She has won many prizes for her compositions. Concurs du Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris and dedicated Ulysse Delecluse. In three movements: 1. Misterioso-quasi cadenza-ad libitum, 2. Perpetuum Mobile (Prestissimo), and 3. Final. Prof. Heim wrote: The first movement begins with a long section of ad libituum (but measured) clarinet passages with limited participation by the accompaniment. The third movement has two cadenzas: the first begins the movement and is one page long; the second is brief (in the middle of the movement). This concerto is of major proportions and is reminiscent of Bozza's style and, in a limited way, the Tomasi concerto. The clarinet part demands a facile, quick and flexible virtuosic technique although the range is just a little over three octaves. The pianist has a difficult part with many full chords requiring all fingers and many passages in octaves. The harmonic material is complex with some polytonality, mixed seventh chords and added tones while the melodic material for clarinet can be lyric but is usually flamboyant. This work has excellent music and is at the top of the literature for the most advanced player. A CD of this piece is currently unavailable but there are some sound samples here. |

the somewhat tricky rhythms in the solo part of what is probably a (US)
grade 3 piece could be useful. The highest note is an altissimo F. Click

sadness and loss. The final movement (Agitato) transforms the material

agitated energy. For advanced performers. Here is an

wrote: "Ritual was written in 1989 and is influenced by my study of
Greek folk music, which features the clarinet as a virtuoso solo
instrument. The piece is in three distinct parts. The first consists
mostly of isolated gestures; a sort of recitative. This moves into a
mournful, measured duet that builds in steady motion to a climax that
recalls some of these opening gestures. This is followed by a fast, at
times almost frenzied dance. Many of the runs, interval patterns and
rhythms, particularly in the dance, are related to the Greek
tradition." |

C934: American Standard
for Clarinet and Piano
by Michael Kaulkin. Swirly Music, 1994, SS, 16 + 7 pages. Originally
written for British clarinetist Peter Furniss, this single-movement
work has an overtly theatrical aspect, harkening back to the composer's
spiritual home in musical theater. A dialogue is established between
two contrasting but thematically related sections. The slow, lyrical,
aching theme heard at the outset becomes interspersed with a second
that is more mischievous, even grotesque in character. Constant
development of this faster material provides a means of pushing forward
with considerable virtuosity to the composition's rather resigned
conclusion, where both themes (and moods) are finally juxtaposed. An
advanced work with a duration of about 9 minutes. Here is an
audio recording which also shows the score. |

C547: Second Sonate in B major for Clarinet in A and Piano Op. 139b by Sigfrid Karg-Elert. Zimmermann, 1965, SS, 27 + 7 pages. The piece is in two extended movements: Ziemlich bewegt and Sehr rasch, mit íœbermut. Each movement has several sections. There are many markings of style and tempo, mostly in German. The piano part is technically and rhythmically difficult (especially written in B major key), with many added accidentals. While the clarinet part is conservative in range is it virtuosic in content. The rhythm in both parts is complicated, requiring the ensemble to be exact for a good performance. There is a wonderful chamber music relationship between the clarinet and piano. This is an advanced work for the best players. (Description from Clarinet Literature in Outline by Dr. Norman Heim.) |
