	C2693: Soliloquy for Clarinet and String Quartet by John Corigliano. G. Schirmer Inc., 1978/1995, SS, includes parts and score. From the composer: "Soliloquy was written in memory of my father, who died on September 1, 1975. He had been a concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic for 23 years, and I still find it hard to think of that orchestra without him sitting in the first chair. So the idea of an extended dialogue for clarinet and violin seemed not only natural but inevitable. The Soliloquy begins with a long, unaccompanied line for the violin. The other strings enter, and a mood of sustained lyricism introduces the clarinet. The prevailing feeling is that of desolation. I deliberately avoided an emotional climax in the Soliloquy, feeling that sustaining the same mood throughout the music would achieve a heightened intensity. Structurally, this movement alternates two melodic ideas. The first is introduced by the violin (in B), while the second (in B-flat) is represented by the clarinet. A three-note motto (C-sharp, B, B-flat) grows from the alternation of the two tonalities and provides a third major element. The movement ends as it began, with the same long violin line, this time joined by the clarinet." Duration is about 10 minutes. As this piece is at an Adagio tempo it can probably be performed by an advanced high school ensemble.	29.95

	C1403: Trio in E-flat major Op. 44 for Clarinet, Violoncello and Piano by Louise Farrenc edited by John P. Newhill. Breitkopf/Music Rara, 2000, SS. (includes parts and piano score). Jeanne-Louise Farrenc (1804-1875) was a French composer (she studied with Anton Riecha) and was professor of piano at the Paris Conservatoire for 30 years. This work was composed in 1861. It is in four movements: Andante/Allegro moderato, Adagio, Minuetto (Allegro), and Finale (Allegro). This trio has been reported to contain both Romantic and Classical influences. The piano part appears to be the most difficult of the parts. I believe a college level trio (with a good pianist) could probably put this together fairly quickly.	41.95

Hindemith, an excellent clarinetist, composed this work in January 1927 for himself and his wife Getrude who was trained as an actress, singer and cellist, and who could also play double bass. The private nature of these compositions is underlined by the fact that all the dynamic and tempi markings are missing. There are nine short pieces: 1. Untitled, 2.
