Liebermann wrote an emotionally charged Elegy to clarinetist Jon Manasse's late father, Dr. Gustave Manasse, a man who had spent a lifetime in the field of clinical psychology in pursuit of non-pharmacological therapies for the developmentally disabled.

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.

C2432: Gustav Mahler: Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen - Five Selected Songs for Clarinet and Piano arranged by Ronald Kornfeil edited and revised by Andreas Ottensamer. Universal Edition, 2015, SS, 25 + 9 pages. This volume contains a selection of five songs by Gustav Mahler. The composer's rich song output includes his Wunderhorn songs, the Songs of a Wayfarer, the Rückert songs, the Kindertotenlieder (Songs on the Death of Children) as well as movements from his symphonies and The Song of the Earth. 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.

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.) |

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."

C2531: Sonata for E-flat Clarinet and Piano 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 sonata for his own performance on Eb Clarinet, Osborn's charm, dynamic energy, depth, and folkloric sense all culminate in a must-have major addition to the Eb Clarinet repertoire, already celebrated on state lists prior to publication. The three movements are subtitled April Morning (3/8 mm 72-80 in one) Night Music (4/4, Freely, without tempo mm = 30-60 and Steady tempo mm = 60), and Jig (Bouncy mm = c. 132). The final movement is mostly in 7/8. For advanced performers. Here is a video of the Jig. Click on the cover image to view the last page of the final movement. |

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. Duration is about 14 minutes. |

WW044: Tango-Etudes for Alto Saxophone and Piano (or Clarinet and Piano) by Astor Piazzolla. Editions Henry Lemoine, 2003, SS. Includes both clarinet and saxophone parts. 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. The clarinet part for use with the piano tends to be mostly in the lower two octaves of the instrument since it is a transposition of the saxophone part. 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. |

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.

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. |

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.

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.

C2103: Introduction, Theme and Variations for Clarinet and Orchestra (Piano Reduction) by Gioachino Rossini edited by Charles Neidich. Lauren Keiser Music, 2012, SS, 15 + 8 pages. An interesting new edition of this work. The clarinet part has three pages of how the ornamentation should be played and suggested fingerings for the higher altissimo notes. The editor has also provided two new cadenzas as options in place of the ascending chromatic scale at the end of the piece. There is also information on the Rossini arias upon which this work is based. |

C1535: Variations for Clarinet and Piano by Gioachino Rossini transcribed and arranged by John Neufeld edited by Mitchell Lurie. Western International Music, 1967, SS, 19 + 6 pages. This piece 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. |

C1624: Variazioni in Do Magg. (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. |

C1993: Tale 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. |

C2605: Sonata for Clarinet and Piano by Josef Schelb. Breitkopf & Hartel, SS, 2019, 36 + 12 pages. Josef Schelb (1894-1977) was a German Composer. From the publisher's website: "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 to view the score from the publisher's website.

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 the cover image to view a page from the clarinet part. |

C2505: 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.

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.

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. |

C784: Adagio and Allegro Op. 70 for Bass Clarinet 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).

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).

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 is an audio recording.

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." |

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." Duration about 16 minutes. |

C1521: Four Icelandic Folksongs for Clarinet and Piano by Thorkell Sigurbjörnsson. Norsk Musikforlag A/S, 1986, SS, 8 + 3 pages. 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.) |

C2057: Fifty 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 the cover image to view the middle page of the clarinet part (Molto meno mosso in 4/4 mm=66). |

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.) |

She studied with Sterndale Bennett and George McFarren at the Royal Academy of Music where she was later a professor.

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. |

C2685: 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.

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.) |

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 get the orchestral parts and score for this piece. Contact us for details.

C2658: Spohr Concerto No. 2 in E-flat major Op. 57 for Clarinet and Piano Reduction by Ludwig Spohr edited by Ullrich 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.

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.

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. |

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 on the cover image to view the first page of the clarinet part.

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 image to view a sample page. |

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. |
