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

a rapid tempo and is distinguished by its frequent use of triplet
figures. Marked with a duration of 9:30, our recordings are 8:06

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

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

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

C643: Second Sonata for Clarinet and Piano by Francoise Devienne edited by Laurence Boulay and revised by Jacques Lancelot. Editions Musicales Transatlantiques, 1962, SS, 19 + 8 pages. The Second Sonata is in three movements: Allegro con spiritoso (4/4), Adagio (3/8) and Rondeau (2/4). The range is more limited than in the first sonata but still requires good technique. Some embellishments and sixteenth-note groupings may present a problem in the first movement. The second movement is florid, and the Rondo is more like Weber than Mozart. This is also a good sonata for college and professional level recitals. |

Dance Music for E-flat Clarinet and Piano
by Daniel Dorff. Theodore Presser, 1994, SS, 17 + 6 pages. Dance Music
was composed for Sherry Apgar and premiered in 1981. Originally
conceived as the score to a farcical animation about an adolescent
mouse who dances himself to death (and ascends to heaven), the music is
built in a series of episodes in the manner of a heroic tone poem. An
advanced work with a duration of about 10 minutes. |

C717: Summer Solstice for Clarinet and Strings Piano
Reduction
by Daniel Dorff. MMB Music, 1993, 26 + 10 pages. This work is for
clarinet in A. The composer wrote: "In 1986 I began a 'Lyric Quintet'
for Clarinet and String Quartet, composing two movements of the
projected three that year. . . . Coming back 6 years later with a fresh
point of view, I decided this would be better for Clarinet and String
Orchestra. This change to a larger string ensemble allows the
thick jazz chords to be played more richly and smoothly, allows the
contrasts of solo strings and tuttis, and brings the advantages of
having a conductor. Having started life as intimately blended chamber
music rather than a concerto, the music tends to use the clarinet as a
balanced ensemble member at least as much as a soloist, and there are
also many solo passages for strings. Only the third movement was
originally conceived for full string orchestra, leading the final
movement to have more dramatic contrasts between clarinet and strings.
The music has a light, summery feel, and the friendly relationship of
the clarinet to the strings somehow struck me as a solstice-like
meeting point, therefore the title 'Summer Solstice.' " |

C721: Nine Impromptus (Neuf Impromptus) for
Clarinet in B-flat
and Piano
by Pierre Max Dubois. Alphonse Leduc, 1965, SS, 11 + 5 pages. Nine
short pieces that look at first like etudes but the piano accompaniment
transforms them into something special. Kathy Pope's CD is highly
recommended. Taken as a whole this is a college work, however, several
of the individual piece should be playable by intermediate level
players. |
