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. |

William Alwyn.

for emphasis. While writing for clarinet is lyric; there are also
periods of technical flourish and climax. The work requires great
breath endurance and excellent finger dexterity and is suggested for
mature performers. |

the ideal complement to the second set of their recital program." Click on the cover

origin of this piece is the score Arnold wrote for the 1954 film comedy

difficulty to Arnold's Concerto and is excellent repertoire for
the

that this piece has a certain romanticism mixed with its atonality and
is probably the best work in the repertoire in this style of writing.
The clarinet part has flutter-tonguing and is rhythmically difficult. |

concerto for Benny Goodman (there had been some efforts in that
direction) he described this concerto as having many "Benny-isms." "The
first movement is in roughly Sonata-Allegro form and has a strong
Goodman nuance, as does the slow 12-beat-to-the-bar second movement.
The last movement alternates a Brazilian chorino with an ebullient
Ravelian waltz". The movements are marked: I. Allegro, II. Cantabile
(with a jazz feeling), and III. Scherzo-finale (Quasi una cadenza, ma
in tempo)/Allegro assai (A chorinho tempo, slightly swung)/(concluding)
CRASSLY GRAND! There are a few contemporary techniques such as growling
and a slap key. An advanced work with a duration of 20 to 23 minutes. |

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. |

C1133: Aida di G. Verdi Fantasia Op. 240 for Clarinet and Piano by Giusto Dacci edited by Colin Bradbury. Lazarus Edition, 2003, SS, 23 + 11 pages.

His compositions, over 500 in all, include songs, piano pieces, chamber music and operatic fantasies for various instruments, including five for clarinet and piano. The fantasia on Aida was published approximately two years after the first performance of Verdi's opera at the Cairo Opera House (24 December 1871). It makes free use of the priests' motive first heard in the opera's prelude to link together a selection of the work's best known tunes. An advanced work. |

pages. This piece is sometimes titled Sonata Concertante. Three

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

movements (each of which represents a view): I. East, II. South, III.

puts a clarinet choir (of 6 B-flat clarinets, 2 bass clarinets and
E-flat contra) in front of the rest of the band. Here is Steve
Cohen playing the first movement in a YouTube video. |

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.  |

(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. |

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.' " |

C2029: The Cape Cod Files for

Boosey & Hawkes, 2009/2012 (second impression with edits), SS, 39 +
23 pages. Commissioned by the Cape Cod Music Festival on the occasion
of
their 30th Anniversary and dedicated to Jon Manasse and Jon Nakamatsu..
In four movements: Benny @ 100.
Inspired by Benny Goodman’s unique way of jazz phrasing, as well as his
incursion in the so-called “classical” arena, this movement is a
celebration of the most famous clarinetist's 100th birthday. Bandoneon. An Argentinean Milonga
that recreates the nostalgic sound of the exotic instrument that in the
opinion of many, represents the very soul of the Tango. Lecuonerías. Unaccompanied solo
clarinet improvisations around some of the melodies written by the
foremost of the Cuban composers, pianist extraordinaire Ernesto
Lecuona. Chiquita Blues. Using
elements of the American 12 bar blues, as well as traditional Cuban
Danzón and contemporary atonal music, the final movement of The Cape
Cod Files was inspired by Antonio Orlando Rodríguez’s novel “Chiquita,”
based on the life of a 26 inch tall Cuban Lilliputian singer and
actress who achieved great success in New York at the end of the 19th
and beginning of the 20th century. This is an advanced work with a
duration
of 17 minutes. You can listen to an audio sample from the last movement

special. Kathy Pope's CD is highly recommended. Taken as a whole this

and in a simple mood. The piano accompaniment requires an excellent
performer with good technique. This is good repertoire for the advanced
college clarinetist. |

IV. Allegro. An interesting piece, very tonal (especially for something
this recent), with interesting melodies, and contrasting sections. The

C804: Concerto for Clarinet and Piano by
Richard Faith. Southern Music Co., 1989,
SS, 38 + 9 pages. Richard Faith (1926-) is an American music educator
and composer of operas, concertos and chamber music. This work is
dedicated to John Denman. It is in three movements: Andante con moto
(6/8), Lento (2/4) and Vivace (6/8). Professor Heim wrote "The style is
conservative with very little twentieth century dissonance. Tonal
centers change rather quickly involving many accidentals in both parts.
Melodic material is lyrical and emphasizes the best qualities of the
clarinet. There is a vast range of rhythmic groupings in the clarinet
which requires great finger facility in fast passages. This work has
excellent music and requires advanced performers on both instruments."

some sections of the work including some 3/4 + 3/8 in the last
movement. This appears to be a challenge worthy of an advanced college
player. |

the second movement is florid; while third movement is like a rondo.
The clarinet part requires ample technique; although range is limited
mostly to the lower two registers. The piano part has the greater
challenge; requiring a strong, mature performer. This is good material

2 pages. Edward German (1862-1936) studied at the Royal Academy of
Music, studying harmony and counterpoint with Prout and winning organ
and violin as well as composition prizes. Although eventually
overshadowed by that of his friend Elgar, German's music
enjoyed great
success in the later Victorian and Edwardian periods, ranging from
symphonies, suites and concert overtures to ballads and salon pieces.
The Romance dates from German's early years as a professional
composer,
and was originally one of a pair (of which the other is now lost). The
first known performance was by Oscar Street (1869-1923), a pupil of
George Clinton, at the Oxford University Musical Union on January 29,
1890. This piece is not difficult and is suitable for intermediate

C434: Sonata II for B-flat Clarinet and Piano
by Arsenio Giron. Woodwindiana, 2003, SS, 24 + 8 pages. Arsenio Giron
was born in Renteria, Spain in 1932 and immigrated to New York in 1942.

University and finally Washington University before immigrating to
Canada in 1968. Giron has been commissioned by several performing
ensembles, and has written works for piano, orchestra, band, wind
ensemble, chorus, solo voice, and string ensemble. Retired as professor
emeritus from the University of Western Ontario, he still maintains a
busy composition schedule. Sonata II (1996), like most music by
Arsenio Girón, makes equal demands of its performers, both
clarinetist
and pianist. A conservative, contemporary work which emphasizes linear
gestures--often requiring much technical skill--rapid tempos, lively
rhythms and tight interlocking motifs. Four movements and a duration of
about 15 minutes. |

was born in Hamburg and studied piano and composition at the Leipzig
Conservatorium under Bülow and Mendelssohn. He married
the great
Swedish soprano Jenny Lind in 1852 and settled in London in 1858. His
Two Pieces for clarinet and piano were published in 1900 with a
dedication 'to my friend Oscar W. Street.' Evening (Adagio) is in fact
a straight transcription of a song published nearly fifty years earlier
as the second of Goldschmidt's Sechs Lieder Op. 9, a setting of a poem
by Hölty entitled Gruss an den Abend. The quotation in the
Rondo
Caprice(Vivace/Andantino) is presumably from another early song, as yet
unidentified. (Evening

C1578: Concerto for clarinet and orchestra (piano reduction) by Ida Gotkovsky. Editions Musicales Transatlantiques, 1968, SS, 42 + 15 pages. Ida Gotkovsky (1933-) is a French composer who studied with Nöel Gallon, Oliver Messiaen, Tony Aubin and Nadia Boulanger. She has won many prizes for her compositions. Concurs du Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris and dedicated Ulysse Delecluse. In three movements: 1. Misterioso-quasi cadenza-ad libitum, 2. Perpetuum Mobile (Prestissimo), and 3. Final. Prof. Heim wrote: The first movement begins with a long section of ad libituum (but measured) clarinet passages with limited participation by the accompaniment. The third movement has two cadenzas: the first begins the movement and is one page long; the second is brief (in the middle of the movement). This concerto is of major proportions and is reminiscent of Bozza's style and, in a limited way, the Tomasi concerto. The clarinet part demands a facile, quick and flexible virtuosic technique although the range is just a little over three octaves. The pianist has a difficult part with many full chords requiring all fingers and many passages in octaves. The harmonic material is complex with some polytonality, mixed seventh chords and added tones while the melodic material for clarinet can be lyric but is usually flamboyant. This work has excellent music and is at the top of the literature for the most advanced player. A CD of this piece is currently unavailable but there are still some sound samples here. |

Katherine Hoover. Papagena Press, 1991, SS, 24 + 7 pages. The composer
wrote: "Ritual was written in 1989 and is influenced by my study of
Greek folk music, which features the clarinet as a virtuoso solo
instrument. The piece is in three distinct parts. The first consists
mostly of isolated gestures; a sort of recitative. This moves into a
mournful, measured duet that builds in steady motion to a climax that
recalls some of these opening gestures. This is followed by a fast, at
times almost frenzied dance. Many of the runs, interval patterns and
rhythms, particularly in the dance, are related to the Greek
tradition." |

Kalliwoda (1801-1866) was a Bohemian violinist and composer who was

C934: American Standard for Clarinet and Piano
by Michael Kaulkin. Swirly Music, 1994, SS, 16 + 7 pages. Originally
written for British clarinetist Peter Furniss, this single-movement
work has an overtly theatrical aspect, harkening back to the composer's
spiritual home in musical theater. A dialogue is established between
two contrasting but thematically related sections. The slow, lyrical,
aching theme heard at the outset becomes interspersed with a second
that is more mischievous, even grotesque in character. Constant
development of this faster material provides a means of pushing forward
with considerable virtuosity to the composition's rather resigned
conclusion, where both themes (and moods) are finally juxtaposed. An
advanced work with a duration of about 9 minutes. |

C547: Second Sonate in B major for Clarinet in A and
Piano Op. 139b by Sigfrid Karg-Elert. Zimmermann, 1965, SS, 27
+ 7 pages. The piece is in two extended movements: Ziemlich
bewegt and Sehr rasch, mit íœbermut. Each movement has several
sections.
There are many markings of style and tempo, mostly in German. The piano
part is technically and rhythmically difficult (especially written in B
major key), with many added accidentals. While the clarinet part is
conservative in range is it virtuosic in content. The rhythm in both
parts is complicated, requiring the ensemble to be exact for a good
performance. There is a wonderful chamber music relationship between
the clarinet and piano. This is an advanced work for the best
players. (Description from Clarinet

Although generally quite chromatic and non-diatonic, there is a strong
lyrical thread, sometimes hinting at a key center running through each
movement. A fine musical and technical challenge for the college-level
clarinet student. Contemporary harmonies served up in an accessible
fashion. About 10 minutes. |

elaboration by Hengel Gualdi. Edizioni Eufonia, SS, 6 + 2

written, is with band accompaniment that sounds good, but last 16 bars

Some of the original phrases in the low register of the basset clarinet have been retained in the revision of Prof. Karl Leister."

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 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.

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. We have a new source for this music and have been able to reduce the price from $50.95. |

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. |

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.) |

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. |

C1532: Clarinet Sonate (Klarinettensonate) Op. 105a
for Clarinet
and Piano by Joseph Rheinberger edited by Bernhard
Päuler. Amadeus
Verlag, 1985, SS, 33 +11 pages. Joseph Rheinberger (1839-1901) was a
German (actually born in Liechtenstein) organist, composer and
pedagogue. He composed works for orchestra, operas, 12 masses, many
solo organ works and chamber music. His style is in the tradition of
the late Romantic period. This piece is in three movements: I. Allegro
non troppo, II. Andante molto, and III. Non troppo allegro. Technically
the clarinet part often has long notes with rhythmic activity in the
piano and there are many wide skips in the clarinet part. Musically,
this work first published in 1893 reflects a strong influence of
Brahms. Prof. Heim says this work requires mature performers on both
instruments. Duration is about 16 minutes. |

Richardson (1904-1978) was born in Scotland. He was a performer (piano)

C1037: Concertino for Clarinet and Strings
(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. 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.

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.  |

C1278: Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra in G minor
Op. 29 (Piano Reduction) by Julius Rietz. Simrock, 2008, SS, 39
+ 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.  |

The three pieces are: I. Taches, II. Lignes, and III. Fresques. There appear to be some spots for multiphonics but only the primary note is specified. An advanced work with a duration of about 14 minutes. |

viola virtuoso, composer and teacher. In the Newhill book it is stated that there is a score

earlier. The author believes this is the best surviving concerto for

Menéndez, a great Spanish
clarinetist revised this piece to make it more brilliant and virtuosic.
He changed some sections (some of which are shown with the original
above in this edition) and also added seven bars near the end of

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

for Clarinet and Piano by Anže Rozman. Alry Publications, 2012, SS,
Alphonse Leduc, 1930, 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. |

publication has two pieces, written around 1823, which are both based
on the popular song Ja mam Kone
(My Horses or I Have Horses) but are quite different. The Theme and
Variations begins with an Andante introduction, the Theme, and seven
short variations. The Adagio and Polonaise is just that with the
Polonaise at a Moderato tempo. The second piece does not have any notes

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. |

composer, and bandleader best known as founder and director of the

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.) |

C812: Elegies for Clarinet and Piano by Peter
Schickele. Elkan-Vogel, 1976, SS, 13 + 4 pages. There are three
elegies: Song for Bert (Flowing), Song for Lannatch (Still, suspended),
and Ceremony (Mysterious, serene). The clarinet part for first two
pieces is easy. The third piece is difficult, with mixed meter and some
wide intervals. About 10 minutes. |

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

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 Franz Schubert arranged by Carlo Duerto.
EditionDarok, 2012, 4 + 1 pages. The Molto lento tempo makes this look

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. |

C1679: 2 Sonatines for Clarinet Op. Posth 137 by Franz Schubert transcribed and edited by Richard Stoltzman. Lauren Keiser Music Publishing, SS, 39 + 15 pages + CD. 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. |

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). 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. |

Cradle Song (Slowly, subdued), and 3. The Bashful Farmhand (Lively, Rhythmically). The cradle song is at the intermediate high school level (some quintuplets are the only tricky part).

C259: Sonata for Clarinet (Flute, Oboe) and Basso continuo in B-flat major by Gregorio Sciroli edited by Nikolaus Delius with Basso continuo realized by Hugo Ruf. Schott, 1990, SS. This piece includes parts for clarinet, an alternative oboe or flute part, a Basso continuo part for cello, and a score that includes an accompaniment part suitable for keyboard.

C1964: Songs of Sea and Sky
for Clarinet and Piano by Peter
Sculthorpe. Faber Music, 1991, SS, 19 + 10 pages. Peter Sculthorpe
(1929-) is 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. |

C1028: Concertino for Clarinet and Strings
arranged for Clarinet and Piano by Matyas Seiber. Schott, 1953, SS,
442 + 8 pages. Matyas Seiber (1905-1960) was a Hungarian cellist and
composer who immigrated to Britain after World War II. 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." |

C915: Sonata for Clarinet and Piano by Roberto
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 virtuosism from both players."
Duration about 16 minutes. |

C916: Tema y Variaciones for Clarinet and Piano
by Roberto Sierra. Subito Music, 2003, SS, 14 + 7 pages. This piece

a compositional device. There are many sections with different tempos
and in parts of the piece the meter changes in every bar. A challenging
work for both performers. Duration about 6:45. |

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.) |

C and the C sharp above that. Duration about 5 minutes. (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. 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.) |

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. |

C408: Concerto in E-flat major (Piano Reduction) by Carl Stamitz edited by Fritz Georg Hölÿ with piano reduction by Adrás Borgulya. Kunzelmann, 1996, SS, 36 + 11 pages. This concerto is based on a manuscript from the Austrian National Library. It has been attributed to Stamitz based on the style of the clarinet part. It is in three movements: Allegro, Siciliano con espressione, and Rondeu. This edition has very limited dynamic markings but does have the parts for some of the tuttis.

by Charles Villiers Stanford edited by Pamela Weston. Cramer Music,
1977, SS, 44 + 10 pages. This work was written in 1902, premiered by
Charles Draper in 1904, but this is the first publication. Three
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.

Originally published in 1919, it is dedicated to Oscar W. Street and
Charles Draper. It is in three movements: I. Allegro moderato, II.
Caoine (Adagio, quasi Fantasia), and III. Allegretto grazioso. The
composition reflects Brahms' influence in the first and third
movements, while the second movement is a fantasia centering on an
Irish lament. This is good training material for college level students. |

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. In the third movement, 7/8 meter may present rhythmic challenges. College level and advanced performers will want to program this work. |

organist, choirmaster, and composer. It begins Andante grazioso, with
several tempo changes after that. The publisher lists this as a grade 2
piece but it seems a bit more difficult, perhaps something for an
eighth grader who has 2 years of private lessons. Duration is slightly
less than 6 minutes. This piece is also included in C165:

presented in honor of the centennial of the ballet's premiere, and is
intended to give soloists and accompanists a chance to perform two
movements (I. Introduction - A Kiss of the Earth and II. Dance of the
Young Maidens) from this monumental work. The movements can be
performed separately, and the first movement can be played as a solo
without piano accompaniment. Surprisingly, for a work that was released
for several instruments at the same time, this is an advanced work that
will required college level skill. Includes some flutter tonguing. 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. |

1968, SS, 25 + 7 pages. This is one of the earliest known clarinet
sonatas which was first published in 1800. It was originally for
clarinet in C. The editor has preserved the original clarinet key and
transposed the piano part. In three movements: I. Allegro moderato, II.
Adagio, and III. Rondo (Allegro). This is a relatively easy piece which
may be a good choice for high school students before they take on more
difficult repertoire. |

the UK on the Semplice CD and thought it was a very nice work, but
probably almost unknown in the United States. Three movements: I

not have a required list of music. About the same level as the Finzi
