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. The
duration is a little less than 4 minutes. (Except other items with free shipping.) |

C1617: Mozart Clarinet Concerto K 622 (Piano Reduction) edited by Karl Leister. Edizioni Musicali Eufonia, 2003(?), SS, 36 + 7 pages. In the preface Luigi Magistrelli writes: "Prof. Karl Leister's revision, recorded here, is a result of his vast wealth of experience in live and recorded performances of the work. Here he aims to underline an elegant phrasing with articulations which give much importance to the expressive content of the sublime Mozartian melodies, even in the virtuoso passages, where even the sixteenth notes can become an important part of a cantabile line. Some of the original phrases in the low register of the basset clarinet have been retained in the revision of Prof. Karl Leister." This version is for a standard clarinet in A not a basset clarinet. | |

C403: Mozart Sonata in B-flat K. 454 arranged for Clarinet and Piano by Richard Carder. Rosewood Publications, 2003, SS, 36 + 11 pages. Frustrated that Mozart did not write a sonata for clarinet, Carder has selected the Violin Sonata in B-flat K. 454 (1784) and arranged it for clarinet. He believes that the key (and consequent placement) and the characteristics of the work which features wide leaps, arpeggios, and scales make it very appropriate for the clarinet. It is in three movements: I. Largo, Allegro; II. Andante; and III. Allegretto. The score includes the original violin part. College level. | |

C1711: Spiegel im Spiegel for
Clarinet (or Bass
Clarinet) and
Piano by Arvo Pärt. Universal Edition, 1978, SS 8 +
1 pages
(includes part for either B-flat or C clarinet). This piece was written
by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt in 1978, originally for
violin and
piano. The piece is in the tintinnabular style created by
Pärt in which
the "tintinnabular voice" (the piano) arpeggiates the tonic triad and
the second voice (clarinet) moves diatonically in stepwise motion. The
title means mirror in the mirror. The piece is musically minimal, yet
produces a serene tranquility. The clarinet part is very easy (it looks
like an ensemble warm up exercise) and the main issue in the piano part
is concentration. It is about ten minutes long. Here
is a
version with clarinet on YouTube and another
with a
slower tempo. Both of these have dynamics (there aren't any in the
music). (Except other items with free shipping.) |

The work ends with a fiery showpiece full of cross-rhythms and glissandi. All three movements make extensive use of the interplay between the clarinet and piano, hence the title Conversations.

There are some exceptions, however, since most of the six etudes end high in the saxophone altissimo. | |

This piece is in three movements: I. Con moto/Allegro/Tempo primo, II.
Andante Tranquillo, III. Allegro. Early college level with a duration
of about 12 minutes. The organ part does not look difficult. There are
some brief audio samples here

C1471: Tango Suite No. 1 for Clarinet and Piano by Hauke Piper. Advance Music, 2009, SS, 14 + 6 pages. To paraphrase from the cover: A suite consisting of four movements - prelude, tango, air, tango. The first movement is rubato. The second has a fixed meter and is set up as a multi-faceted tale. The third movement can be improvised over an accompanying ostinato although a melody is also included. The fourth movement concludes the suite looking back on what has been. In our opinion, this piece is considerably easier than the Piazzolla tangos and will be good for the adventurous student and adult amateur who want to try a tango. | |

Peter Przystaniak (1956-) is a German pianist, composer, arranger, and gospel choir director.

Raphael - God's healing power (Adagio con anima), and V. Kamael - Might of God (Allegro deciso). There are optional violin and cello parts to expand this piece to a quartet.

S110: Vocalise Op. 34 No. 14
for Soprano or Tenor
Saxophone and Piano by Sergei Rachmaninoff arranged by Ronald
L.
Caravan. Ethos Publications, SS. The genesis of this arrangement was
preparation for a recording session where Dr. Caravan was to record
this piece on soprano saxophone. His accompanist insisted he should try
the piece in the original concert key (C sharp minor) instead of the
available transcriptions which are a half step lower or higher. After
trying it in this key they decided it was much more effective and this
arrangement is the result. While E-flat minor (six flats) may seem like
a difficult key, this piece moves slowly and it should not be a problem
for any player at intermediate or above level. This arrangement will
work very well on clarinet as well. (Except other items with free shipping.) |

C1336: Concerto for Clarinet and
String Orchestra (Piano
Reduction) by Alan Rawsthorne with piano reduction by Gerard
Schurmann. Oxford University Press/Allegro Music, 1972, SS, 30 + 8
pages. Alan Rawsthorne (1905-1971) was an English composer who studied
at the Royal Manchester College of Music and in Berlin. Dedicated to
Frederick Thurston who played the first performance in 1937. It is in
four movements: Moderato, Capriccio, Aria, and Invention. Prof. Heim
wrote that it is written in mid-twentieth century style with a pleasant
sprinkling of dissonance. While the movements are relatively short, the
total length of the work (19:00) is substantial. The piano reduction
requires an expert keyboard player to sort out the intricate parts from
the orchestra. This concerto has excellent music for the advanced
college level player with the first, third and last movements
containing the best music.![]() |

C1037: Concertino for

(Piano Reduction) by Alan Ridout. Emerson Edition, 1978, SS,
7 + 3 pages. Alan Ridout (1934-1996) was an English composer who showed
a
strong interest in composing at an early age. He completed six years of
professional music study at age 20 with Gordon Jacob and Herbert
Howells as his last teachers. This short and enjoyable concertino has
energetic first and last (in 5/8 and 6/8) movements with a beautiful
slow movement in between. At the marked tempos this is probably an
early college level work. The duration at the written tempo is about
6:30. Cranking up the tempo of the first movement
as on the recording (from a marked 92 to about 126) increases the
energy. Duration about 5 minutes at the faster tempo. Here
is video at the marked tempos. We can order the string parts and score.

WW184: Sonate Sentimentale Op. 169
for Flute or

best remembered today as a student and friend of Beethoven but he was a
successful pianist and composer in his own right. This piece is from a
transitional period and includes romantic elements within its classical
form. The separate flute and clarinet parts have been written to take
advantage of the flute's high register and the lower range of the
clarinet. It is in three movements: 1. Allegro moderato, 2. Adagio con
moto, and 3. Rondo Allegro. Early college level. ![]() |

and cellist. This work (its interesting history is told in the Preface)
fills a gap in the clarinet repertoire. Rietz sought to transfer the
musical qualities of works by Mendelssohn-Bartoldy and Schumann to the
clarinet concerto. This is the first modern edition of a work (probably
written in the 1850's) that had almost vanished. It is in three

was written when Rossini was a student in 1809. It was originally for
clarinet in C and small orchestra. It serves as an early example of the
melody and invention found in his operas. Comparison with the
relatively new Italian edition below reveals that the piano part was
transposed so a B-flat clarinet could be used to play the original C
clarinet part.![]() |

pages. This is the same piece as above with parts for both B-flat
clarinet and C clarinet (bravo!). The piano parts are similar although
this one has one more staff per page (on slightly larger paper) so
there are less page turns. There are some minor differences in the
clarinet parts with only the ending of the piece significantly
different. I suspect that this version is more authentic; the
Neufeld/Lurie version more dramatic. We can order the orchestral parts

of the Naughty
Gypsy
for Clarinet and Piano by Anže Rozman. Alry Publications,
2012, SS, 10 + 4 pages. Anže Rozman (1989-) is a
composer from Slovenia. From the music: "Tale of the Naughty Gypsy was
written for a very talented young Slovenian clarinetist, Blaž Šparovec.
The composition is technically difficult but humanistic [?] in
character. The storyline and thus the interpretation is left to ones
imagination, however, the only 'rule' is to have fun playing it.
Features some very technical Klezmer-style altissimo sections [could be
played an octave lower] in addition to a cadenza in which the performer
is encouraged to sing and play at the same time." Here
is an audio file Šparovec of playing this piece. |

C1199: Concertino for Clarinet and Piano by Jeanine Rueff. Alphonse Leduc, 1950, SS, 12 + 6 pages. Jeanine Rueff (1922-1999) was a French composer and a professor at the National Superior Conservatory of Music in Paris (this was the concours piece in 1950). This piece is in one movement with three major sections: Allegro (3/4), Adagio (4/4) and Allegro (2/4). Prof. Heim says this is an excellent example of mid-twentieth century French writing for clarinet and as an outstanding work in the concertino repertoire for advanced performers. It is a virtuoso work for clarinet, emphasizing the melodic techniques that display the best qualities of the instrument. The texture alternates between a two-three part linear style to a harmonic approach where many chords are built in fourths, and added tones provide an additional dissonant flavor. The melodic writing encompasses many skips of fourths and wider intervals which are contrasted with chordal arpeggios and modal scales. There is a major cadenza near the end of the Adagio. Duration about 8 minutes. Orchestral parts are available as a rental. | |

C819: Central Park Variations
for Clarinet and Piano Lalo Schifrin. Scherzo Music/Keiser
Classical, 1984,
SS, 13 + 5 pages. The composer wrote: "David Shifrin asked me to write
a 'jazz
piece' for clarinet and piano and I was seduced by the thought of
trying to notate as exactly as possible a group of
quasi-improvisational figures in the idiom of Afro-American
music. Central Park Variations is almost two pieces in one since
everything is in the ear of the beholder. On one hand the structure is
based on a traditional twelve-bar blues. But it could also very well be
a chaconne in D minor. Anyway, this experience has only confirmed my
suspicion that jazz is a very rigorous discipline which allows certain
freedom within fixed parameters, while the so-called 'serious' music
can be fun (and games)." This is a challenging piece with a tempo of
Andantino Moderato (mm=ca 108) until close to the end. Click on

C525: Sonata in A minor "Arpeggione" for B flat
Clarinet and Piano by Franz Schubert arranged by Douglas
Woodfull-Harris. Baerenreiter (BA5682), 1970, SS, 24 + 11 pages. The
arpeggione was an instrument similar to guitar but played with a bow
that enjoyed a very brief period of popularity in the early 1820s. When
it was originally published in 1871 it included a part for the violin
(which has a very similar range to the clarinet). Thus it has been
considered appropriate for the clarinet and many arrangements have been
made over the years. In this edition, the editor has chosen to keep the
work in its original key and use the piano part from the authoritative New Schubert Edition.![]() ![]() |

These are first two of three violin sonatas written by Schubert in 1816. The first is the same as the piece above but this edition is for A clarinet. The second sonata is for B-flat clarinet. The felicitous and satisfying quality of the works is perfect for the clarinet as they are full of memorable melodies contained in a formal clarity, that is nevertheless full of harmonic surprises. This edition includes a CD recording of Richard Stoltzman and the pianist Richard Goode performing them. This is a world premiere edition never before published. | |

or Clarinet
and Piano by Robert Schumann transcribed by Jean-Marc Volta.
International Music Diffusion, 2002, 16 + 4 pages. This piece, written
in 1849, was originally for horn or violin or cello and
piano.
The Adagio is Langsam mit innigem Ausdruck while the Allegro is Rasch
und feurig (Allegro con brio). For a clarinetist it rates as an
advanced high school level piece. However for the bass clarinet, the
range up to altissimo F and other technical demands place it at the
early college level. Duration is approximately 9 minutes. The version
on the CD is from another arranger but is very similar.![]() |

C1964: Songs of Sea and Sky for Clarinet and Piano by Peter Sculthorpe. Faber Music, 1991, SS, 19 + 10 pages. Peter Sculthorpe (1929-2014) was an Australian composer known primarily for his orchestral and chamber music. Songs of Sea and Sky was inspired by a traditional melody from Saibai, an island just south of Papua New Guinea. Much of the music from this area has been strongly influenced by religious music introduced by missionaries in the nineteenth century. The work is one continuous movement with seven parts: Prelude (Liberamente), Saibai (Comodo), Interlude (Liberamente), Mission Hymn, (Moto sostenuto), Dance Song (Ritmico), Lament (Largamente), and Postlude (Largamente). Early college level with a duration of 15:30. | |

C2268: Andantino

1950, SS,
4 + 2 pages. Matyas Seiber (1905-1960) was a Hungarian cellist and
composer who immigrated to Britain after World War II. This piece is
mostly in 6/8 with a few 9/8 bars. The principle tempo is in two at
56-60 with some variation. Quite a bit of this piece is in the lower
register although it does reach altissimo E-flat. While this piece
could probably be performed by many high school students it would be
more suited for an early college level performance. The duration is
about 3:15. Here

C1028: Concertino for Clarinet and Strings arranged for Clarinet and Piano by Matyas Seiber. Schott, 1953, SS, 42 + 8 pages. Five movements: Toccata (Allegro), Variaziani Semplici (Andante), Scherzo (Allegro), Recitative (Rubato), and Finale (Allegro). Dr Heim wrote, "The music's tonality shifts quietly at times, and there are hints of the use of serial techniques. There is a musical approach to the dissonance, which employs added tones, complex seventh chords and use of polytonality. The treatment of rhythm gives an interesting forward motion to the music. Melodic material is characterized by scales that have modal tendencies, and features skips of fourths and fifths. The clarinet part is very musical and, at times, is technically challenging. There is a general conservative treatment of range other than a few altissimo a and a-flats. This is one of the most musical of the concertino genre, but with its good twentieth-century style it will appeal to advanced performers." | |

"Contrary to the beliefs held by some modernist composers, I feel the
sonata form still remains a viable and wonderful vessel for my musical
imagination . . . The first movement of the Sonata (Salseado) follows
the traditional Allegro Sonata pattern, while the second (Delicado y
expresivo) is nocturnal in character. The scherzo that follows
(Enérgico) and the closing boogie-woogie (Veloz a Rondo)
are lively and
fast in character, demanding high virtuosity from both players."

Times Around the
Sun for Clarinet
and Piano by Alvin Singleton. Schott, 1999, SS, 11 + 3
pages. Alvin Singleton (1940-) is an American composer. This was
commissioned for the 50th birthday of Paul L. King. Fifty Times Around
the Sun for clarinet and piano works on two-note motives that have a
discernible transformational aspect to them. The clarinet has some
poignant and almost soft wailing aspects to it, while the piano answers
accordingly, not always responding to the direct appeal of the
clarinet, but as if it has its own thoughts on the subject matter that
must be addressed first. Fast/slow/fast format with all of the more
challenging music for the clarinet in the slow part. Early college
level with a duration of 11 minutes. Click on

This work had its first public performance in 1870 with clarinetist Henry Lazarus and the composer at the piano. At that time it was entitled Duo Concertante for Pianoforte and Clarinet in A which was an appropriate given the importance and challenging nature of the piano part. In three movements: I. Allegro, II. Andante, and III. Allegro Pastoral. The clarinet part is not difficult (early college level).

C835: Clarinet Concerto Clarinet and Piano by Philip Sparke. Anglo Music, 2004, SS, 34 + 8 pages. This piece was commissioned by Linda Merrick who had some input to the composition. Philip Sparke (1951-) is a contemporary British composer who studied composition, trumpet and piano at the Royal College of Music. The opening movement contains much syncopation and is almost rag-like in style. The slower second movement initially explores the chalumeau register of the clarinet in a theme that is later taken up by the band while the soloist weaves a filigree descant. This leads straight into the third movement, which is almost bee-bop in style and shows off the jazzier side of the clarinet. College level. (There is a concert band accompaniment available that probably can be played by a good high school band.) | |

edited and includes a preface and notes of the editing. From the
publisher: "Besides taking a close look at the Leipzig first edition of
1812, this edition reassesses Spohr's autograph score for the first
time: after it was rediscovered, it was possible to do away with many
imprecisions and irregularities found in earlier editions. Christoph
Sobanski's new piano reduction wonderfully fits the hands." We can

C488: Fantasia and Variations on a
Theme of Danzi Op.
81 for clarinet and string quartet (Piano
Reduction) by Louis
(Ludwig) Spohr edited by Himie Voxman. Musica Rara, 1977, SS. This
piece was written in 1814 and premiered in January 1815 by Johann Simon
Hermstedt. In one movement with tempos alternating between Allegro
molto and Andantino. The clarinet part is primarily based on arpeggio
patterns and requires strong technique. Since the strings are mostly in
an accompanying role in the original version, this piano reduction
should be satisfactory for performance. We also stock the Clarinet
and String Quartet edition. ![]() ![]() |

C489: Potpourri Op. 80 for
clarinet and piano
by Louis (Ludwig) Spohr edited by John Newhill. Musica Rara, 1996, SS,
15 + 8 pages. The full name of this piece is Potpourri
for clarinet on Themes of Winter and it was first
performed by
Johann Simon Hermstedt in 1811. The form of the Potpourri is the stand
one for shorter solo works of the period - a slow introduction,
followed by a theme and variations, concluding with a finale loosely
based on the theme. Spohr used two melodies from Peter von Winter's
opera Das unterbrochene
Opferfest.
The original was with orchestra with this edition based on what is
believed to be Spohr's arrangement for clarinet and piano. A
showpiece.![]() ![]() |

C1494: Concerto for Clarinet and String Orchestra (Piano Reduction) by Halsey Stevens. Peermusic, 1971, SS, 24 + 8 pages. Commissioned by friends and students of Lee Gibson, it has three movements: Andante non troppo-Allegro (3/4), Quasi Adagio (9/8) and Allegro moderato (2/4). There is a cadenza in the second movement. Prof. Heim wrote that the fast movements have rhythmic drive; the style is tonal and harmonies are fairly conservative. This work is written with great sensitivity for the clarinet although the clarinet is more a part of the ensemble than a solo instrument. This is a very nice addition to the repertoire for advanced players but the work sounds best with the string accompaniment. | |

Dr. Heim wrote that this is one of the most pleasant works in the entire clarinet repertoire with the slow movements displaying the clarinet at its best.

work, full of the wit, charm and texture necessary to attract players
of all standards, especially the younger ones."

C888: Concerto for Clarinet for Clarinet and Piano by Richard H. Walthew edited by Jane Ellsworth. Tecchler Press, 1994, SS, 33 + 15 pages. Richard H. Walthew (1872-1951) was and English composer, pianist, teacher and conductor. He wrote operettas, cantatas, chamber music, songs, vocal quartets with piano and several clarinet works. This concerto was completed in 1902 but was apparently never orchestrated and was first performed in 1991. It is in three movements performed segue: Allegro non troppo e con bravura (4/4), Commodo (4/4) and Vivace (2/2). An extended cadenza appears in the first movement. Prof. Heim wrote that the work is written in the style of the late Romantic period and is dramatic, inspired by interesting rhythms. He found the harmonic material is interesting, and the changes of key are, at times, surprising. Melodic material is usually approached by step, but often it involves various skips. The piano part is quite pianistic and, although it is an accompaniment, the part often has its own character. He concluded that this is good music written for the advanced clarinetist, and the work warrants performances on professional recitals. | |
