emotionally charged Elegy to clarinetist Jon Manasse's late father, Dr.

then passes through an extended section of increasing
tension-and-resolve (and increases in tempo from c.56 to c.80) before a
reprise brings the piece to a wistful (and slower) close. The premiere
in 2013 was by Jon Manasse (clarinet) and Jon Nakamatsu (piano). The
publisher says this is for advanced performers but probably any
clarinetist who can handle the two altissimo As will be able to play
it. The duration is about 8 minutes. Click

This book includes a selection of pieces that best suit the sound of
the clarinet while providing plenty of variety. They are Ich bin der
Welt abhanden gekommen, Lob des hohen Verstandes, Verlorne Müh,
Rheinlegendchen, and Oft denk' ich, sie sind nur ausgegangen. The
arrangements transform Mahler's songs from their original conception
for voice and piano or orchestral accompaniment into a purely
instrumental dialog between two equally important instrumentalists. In
most cases the colorful orchestral versions provide the starting point.
The omission of the text also demands different compositional
techniques to bring out the various effects between indulgent sweetness
and grotesque irony. Click on

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.) |

It is in contemporary French style, is well written for the clarinet, emphasizing its best qualities. The jazz idiom is prevalent in the fast movements. It is technically and musically demanding with endurance as the major performance difficulty for the clarinetist because there are few rests and those are short. The piano reduction is complex and requires an excellent player. A work for excellent college players or professionals. Duration about 22:45. |

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."

S1116:
Jazz Suite for Alto Saxophone (or Clarinet) and
Piano by Jeremy Norris. Schott, 2014, SS, 42 + 15 pages (includes
both clarinet and sax parts). After his popular Jazz Suite for Flute
and Piano, this Jazz Suite ventures still
further into the realms of jazz idiom and many passages even resemble
Bebop improvisations. The underlying formal structures, however, are
firmly rooted in the classical tradition. An alternative clarinet part
has been included as this instrument shares a similar range to the alto
saxophone and is likewise equally at home in both concert halls and
jazz clubs. In five movements: 1. Homage to Bolling
(Allegretto/Moderato - Swing), 2. Day dream (Moderato - Swing), 3.
Nocturne (Moderato con espressione), 4. Chiaroscuro (Moderato - Swing),
and 5. Variations (Moderato - Swing/Allegretto - Swing, etc.).

by Sean Osborn. Theodore Presser Co., 2017, SS, 22 + 8
pages. Sean Osborn is both a virtuoso clarinetist, and an elegantly fun
composer of "neo-populist" concert and recital music. In creating a

C1131: Ballabile
con
Variazioni nel ballo Ettore Fieramosca for E-flat Clarinet
and Piano
by Giacomo Panizza edited by Colin Bradbury. Lazarus Edition, 2000, SS,
18 + 4 pages. Giacomo Panizza (1804-1860) was conductor at La Scala

principal clarinet. He composed two operas and thirteen ballets for
Milan, several times exploiting his brilliant first clarinetist with
solos like this. The Ballabile con Variazioni (variation being here
meant in the balletic rather than the musical sense) comes from Act
III: a festa di ballo set in a magnificent banqueting hall. This was
first performed in 1837. |

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.) |

C749: Conversations Op. 25 for Clarinet and Piano by Paul Patterson. Weinberger, 1975, SS, 22 + 8 pages. Conversations was written in 1974 for Robert Bramley and first performed by him that year. It is a virtuoso work utilizing the dexterity of both performers. The piece is in three contrasting movements: an aggressive opening movement containing wide intervals and angular rhythms is followed by a dreamy second, in which the legato qualities of the two instruments are used. 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. Duration is about 14 minutes. |

This is a relatively new edition of this music (originally published in 1989), adding piano accompaniment written by Piazzolla, but which required much painstaking work on the manuscript before it could be published.

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

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. |

Gabriel - Purity of God (Allegro energico), II. Haniel - Grace of God (Andante con moto e spirito), III. Mikael - Like unto God (Allegro risoluto), IV. 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. The CD has recordings of the work with and without the clarinet part for both the piano only and expanded versions. Early college level with a duration of 11:30. |

C802: Genèse for Clarinet and Piano by Christophe Queval. International Music Diffusion, 1997, SS, 12 + 4 pages. This work uses contemporary notation in both the clarinet and piano part. The only extended technique is flutter tonguing. "It was written in 1989 and offers a succession of brief metamorphoses balancing between shade and outbursts, from a short mysterious and bewitching chromatic melisma slowly emerging from the original lull [from the inside cover]."

C2665: Sonata for Clarinet and Piano
by Serge Rachmaninoff arranged by Julian Bliss. Queen's Temple
Publications, 2018, SS, 72 + 16 pages. This is the first transcription
for the clarinet of Rachmaninoff's great Cello Sonata Op. 19 of 1901.
Julian
Bliss has skilfully arranged the work and has maintained its
authenticity throughout. There are small modifications in passages that
include double stopping and other particularly string-like devices; the
result is an important addition to the clarinet repertoire. This is
also the first re-setting of the
piano part for many years and mistakes in former editions have been
corrected. In four movements. Advanced high school/early college level,
however, the piano part appears to be challenging. Click on the cover

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.) |

C2532: Two Antipodean Sketches for
clarinet
and piano by James Rae. Universal Edition, 2017, SS. 20 + 6 pages.
Written for a
master clarinetist "down under," Rae's concert work Two Antipodean
Sketches are two movements of opposite sounds. Cloudy Bay begins the
work in a dreamy, reflective fashion, evoking the calm beauty of the
titular New Zealand region that gives us sauvignon blanc. Beatin' about
the Bush! is a quick humorous exposition in 3/8 time, to feature the
musician's dexterity and technique. Better high school clarinetists and
above. Here

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. |

C2684:
Serenade
for Clarinet and Piano by Alfred Reed. Chas H. Hansen Music
Corp/Southern Music, 1957
SS, 6 + 2 pages. This piece was originally composed for clarinet and
band. It was written for Robert E. Lowry, at that time Director of
Bands at Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa where the first
performance under the composer's direction, with Mr. Lowry as soloist
and the Morningside College Band, was given in 1958. Three or four
short phrases, identified with various activities of Sioux life, became
the basis for this composition. Set in the form of a freely developing
lyrical Idyll in variation form involving an almost continuous musical
development, the solo clarinet line together with a constantly shifting
harmonic background paint a pastoral scene that suggests an overall
three-part song form. Some parts of this piece have alternate solo
lines which are easier. Here is a
student performance of the easier version of this edition for clarinet
and piano.

(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.
The price would be about $35.95.

WW184: Sonate Sentimentale Op. 169
for Flute or
Clarinet and Piano by Ferdinand Ries. Musica Rara/Breitkopf,
1971/2000, SS, 33 + 7/7 pages. Ferdinand Ries (1784-1838) is perhaps
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.  |

+ 14 pages. Julius Rietz (1812-1877) was a German composer, conductor
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
movements: I. Allegro Agitato, II. Adagio, and III. Allegro vivace.  |

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. |

(Variations in C Major)
for Clarinet
and Orchestra Piano Reduction by Gioachino Rossini
edited by
Sergio Bosi and Michele Mangani. Edizioni Musicali Eufonia, SS, 11 + 4
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
for this piece. The estimated price is $110. |

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. |

"With the first edition of Josef Schelb’s only recently rediscovered
“Sonata for Clarinet and Piano” from 1947, the repertoire of this
chamber-music genre gains an attractive asset. Schelb’s four-movement
work, closest in style to that by Paul Hindemith among the well-known
clarinet sonatas of the 20th century, captivates with its distinctive
originality, strong inventiveness, and the very personal character of
its musical statement. Schelb is not only a master of contrapuntal
compositional art, he is equally capable of formulating aphoristically
concise expression and handling the thematic material, as well as of
shaping with affinity the most various instrumental moods and gestures,
at times, humorously burlesque, at times yearningly expressive, or even
flashing fleetingly past. Each of the extensive work’s movements,
sometimes demanding considerable virtuosity, reveals Schelb’s close
familiarity with this woodwind instrument. The clear, never exuberant
piano composing betrays the sensitive pianist who never disavows his
musical home in Romanish Switzerland." Click here

C1831: La
Sonnambula, Fantasia for Clarinet and Piano by
Salvatore Schembari. Edizioni Musicali Eufonia, 13 + 4 pages. This is
based on Bellini's opera (the Sleep Walker). It is sectional with
several variations and cadenzas. This is somewhat easier than many
fantasias of this type. It can probably be performed by advanced high
school and early college level students, although the stronger the
technique, the better it will sound. (Except other items with free shipping.) |

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

C532: Andantino Op. 30 No. 1 by Florent
Schmitt. Leduc, 1927, SS, 4 + 1 pages. For clarinet in B-flat and
piano. This is a brief (about 3 minutes), beautiful, and somewhat
melancholy work. It is in a slow, mostly in 12/8, meter and marked
Très calme. While not technically difficult, shaping of phrases is
important
as is ensemble with the moving line in the piano part.

Clarinet and Piano by
Gary Schocker. Theodore Presser, 2013, SS, 11 + 4 pages. This piece
which is dedicated to
Michèle Gingras was written in 1994 but not published until 2013.
Schocker's two-part suite for clarinet begins with a beautiful melodic
section, quiet and lovely, with no hint of what's to come. Clarinet and
piano then launch into an allegro viva movement of fast-paced
virtuosity, with trills and runs to a satisfying conclusion. For

Sonata No. 3 for Clarinet and
Piano by Gary Schocker. Alry, 2015, SS, 16 + 9 pages. Composed
by award-winning
composer Gary Schocker, this Sonata in three movements for clarinet and
piano is full of contrasts! Playful counterpoint throughout frequently
has the clarinet and piano trading places in their roles as soloist and
accompanist. The first movement, aptly titled "First," explores a
variety of larger intervals and the interplay between the two voices
sounds as if the clarinet and piano are having a conversation. "Same
Dream," the middle movement, provides a lyrical contrast to the outer
movements, with the solo clarinet floating over the undulating
accompaniment. The work concludes with the final movement, "Last,"
which dances through a variety of compound and mixed meters to a joyous
finish! A college level work. 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. |

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
Pastorale for Clarinet and Piano by Matyas Seiber. Schott,
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." |

Sierra. Subito Music, 2006, SS, 33 + 10 pages. The composer wrote:
"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."

Thorkell Sigurbjörnsson (1938-) is an Icelandic composer.
He studied in
Reykjavik and the USA and has worked in Reykjavik as a teacher, critic
and broadcaster. He is internationally known as a pianist and composer:
his works are in diverse styles and genres, tending to assimilate
seemingly unrelated elements. These four short pieces are somewhat
easier than the composer's Rek. While none have time signatures, this
is only a mild challenge in the third piece. Better high school players
and above who are looking for something different. Duration about 7
minutes. (Except other items with free shipping.) |

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

by Walter Skolnik. Tenuto Publications, 2004, SS, 19 + 4 pages. This
relatively new piece by American composer Skolnik (1934-) is in three
movements: I. Gently flowing, II. Slow, and III. Lively. It looks like
fun and should be playable by better high school level clarinetists. (Except other items with free shipping.) |

C2349:
Night of Stars for Clarinet and Piano
by Jeff Smallman. Eighth Note Publications, 2001, SS, 4 + 1 pages.
Night
of Stars (in translation Nuits D'Étoiles), is an adaptation of a work
for soprano and piano. The piece is a setting of a poem of the same
name by Théodore de Banville. From the start, the listener is treated
to melody and lush harmonies reminiscent of the French Impressionist
era which conjure up images of melancholy summer evenings. This is an
easy piece probably suitable near the end of the second year of study
for
recital or festival use. The clarinet part is almost entirely within
the staff and in the key of C minor. The duration is about 3:35. (Except other items with free shipping.) |

C1641: Sonata for Clarinet (in A) and Piano by Alice Mary Smith edited by Ian Graham Jones and Richard Platt. Hildegard Publishing Company, 1998, SS, 49 + 12 pages. Alice Mary Smith (1839-1884) was one of the most accomplished female musicians and composers of her time. She studied with Sterndale Bennett and George McFarren at the Royal Academy of Music where she was later a professor. 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). This is a scholarly edition prepared from the composer's manuscript and includes notes on the editing. |

Sonata for B-flat Clarinet and Pianoby
Paul Mack Somers. Maurice River Press, 1965/2018, SS, 14 + 5 pages.
Paul Mack Somers (1942-) is an American composer. The Clarinet Sonata
was Somers' first commission, earning $100.00 in 1965 currency
(equivalent to about $800.00 today). The composer describes the work,
"Clearly Neoclassical in style, the Sonata also has some touches of
jazz in that it uses doubly inflected thirds, which come off like blue
notes. At the time of its composition I was both a traditional jazz
pianist and a non-jazz composer, so I suppose it should be no surprise
that the two worlds crossed paths in this piece. However, I find far
more F. J. Haydn than W. C. Handy in the music." Three movements:
Allegro, Andante, and Swinging grazioso. Probably (US) grade 4+ with a
duration of 12:30. Click on

Introduction and Variations on a Theme of Mozart Op. 104

Breitkopf & Härtel, 2004, SS, 15 + 5 pages. Andreas Späth
(1790-1876) was a German composer and conductor. He began his
career as a clarinetist and pianist. This piece which was originally
for clarinet and orchestra
is based on Mozart's duet "Bei Männern, welche Liebe fühlen" from the
Magic Flute. It consists of
an introductory section (Largo), the Tema (Andante con moto), three
variations and an extended concluding section. Click on

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.) |

minor Op. 26
for Clarinet and Piano Reduction by Ludwig Spohr edited by Ullrich
Scheideler with Piano Reduction by Christoph Sobanski. Henle, 2015, SS,
27 + 11 pages. This edition appears to be based on the Breitkopf
version which was used as the source for the International edition
listed above (including the ossia). However, it has been extensively
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

Scheideler with Piano Reduction by Christoph Sobanski. Henle, 2019, SS,
34 + 11 pages. For clarinet in
B-flat. Three movements: Allegro, Adagio, and Rondo Alla Polacca.
This is the only one of Spohrs four clarinet concertos in a major key,
and its buoyant atmosphere and joie de vivre remain captivating -
especially in the final, “alla polacca” movement. It is hard to believe
that this is the first-ever Urtext edition of this concerto! For this
edition, Ullrich Scheideler has consulted both the first edition of
1822, published in Leipzig, as well as an important early manuscript. A
new, practical, easy-to-play piano arrangement of the orchestral
accompaniment has been made by Christoph Sobanski. The orchestral parts
may be hired from Breitkopf & Härtel. Includes a preface in German,
English and French and comments on the editing in German and English. |

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. |

movements played continuously: Allegro moderato, Andante con moto ma
più tranquillo, and Allegro moderato. The first two
movements are for
B-flat clarinet while the last movement is for clarinet in A. While the
work is highly influenced by Brahms, the Concerto is more original and
innovative than the Sonata and is important since few other late
Romantic works are in the repertoire. Duration about 21 minutes.  |

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. |

Four movements: Allegretto, Adagio, Bucolico pesante, and Moderato con moto. 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. In the third movement, 7/8 meter may present rhythmic challenges. College level and advanced performers will want to program this work. |

C2599:
Sonata in G Minor for
Clarinet and Piano by Georg Philipp Telemann arranged by Eli
Heifetz.
Or-Tav Music Publications, 1995, SS, 8 + 4 pages. Since few Baroque
composers wrote for clarinet, arrangements
of these works make it possible for clarinetists to play music of this
era. Telemann was a contemporary of Bach
and Handel and died when Mozart was 11. Most of his two hundred sonatas
have four movements in a slow-fast-slow-format as does this
arrangement. The first movement is based on a Sicilian dance. The
second movement
is faster. The clarinetist has the opportunity to demonstrate
expression in the third movement and technical facility in the vigorous
fourth movement. The publisher has rated this piece at grade 3 (US) but
it is certainly on the upper end if not grade 4. Click

C2320:
Double Take for Clarinet with accompaniment
by Kevin Volans. Chester Music, 2004, SB, 7 pages (2 copies in score
format). For clarinet in A. The composer has written: "I always find
writing for solo melody instrument the most difficult of compositional
tasks. I wrote this piece as a duet for one player -- i.e. on two
separate staves, with different dynamic levels, one stave being a
response to the other. After I had written about half the piece, I
discovered an off-the-beat ostinato which had been 'hiding' under the
original material. So I repeated the opening adding the ostinato, which
gives a new take on what one has heard already." Most of this piece is
in 4/4 at mm=120 but there are two 7/8 bars and a section that
alternates between 4/4 and 3/4. While presumably the accompaniment is
to be played on the piano, I suspect it would work quite well on the
marimba or vibraphone. Click on the cover

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. |
