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. |

C1077: Chant d'Amour for clarinet and piano
by Isaac Albeniz arranged by H. Delacroix. Alphonse Leduc, 1922, SS, 4
+ 1 pages. This is a very familiar melody. The rhapsodic nature of this

intermediate student. (Except other items with free shipping.) |

with a duration of about 29 minutes. Instead of a piano reduction it
includes a CD with a midi realization of the accompaniment (which
sounds very good).

C1723:
Sonata for clarinet and piano by William Alwyn.
Boosey & Hawkes, 1963, SS, 25 + 7 pages. William Alwyn (1905-1985)
was and English composer who studied at the Royal Academy where he
later joined the faculty. He composed symphonies, oratorios and
concertos, but was most successful as a composer for films. This sonata
is a multi-sectional work in one movement (duration 12:00). Prof. Heim
has written that the style is highly romantic, but dissonance is used
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. |

C1230: Scherzetto for clarinet and piano by
Malcolm Arnold. Queen's Temple Publications, 2001, SS, 4 + 2 pages. The
origin of this piece is the score Arnold wrote for the 1954 film comedy

written for Jack Thurston. After a short Moderato introduction the
piece takes off with a catchy Allegro melody followed by a short Lento
section and the return of the Allegro melody to the end. This will be a
real audience pleaser and may find a place in college and professional
recitals (possibly as an encore). Duration about 2:45.

three movements: Allegro con brio, Andantino, and Furioso with the
middle movement as a quiet interlude between powerful outer
movements It is tonal but with some dissonance. The clarinet part
is well written, with many repeated figurations, and the range spans
two and one-half registers. The Sonatina is similar in style and
difficulty to Arnold’s Concerto and is excellent repertoire for the
college clarinetist and is also suitable for professional recitals.     |

piece.

On a visit to the office of Ron Odrich, periodontist and well-know jazz clarinetist, Leonard Bernstein noticed an eye chart hanging on the wall. The chart had musical notations as well as letters in its design. Bernstein wrote down the notes and later wrote them into a line for solo clarinet. He titled it "Visione Fugitava" and sent the manuscript as a gift to Odrich. After Bernstein's death, Odrich and his composer partner Larry Fallon created a set of variations for clarinet and piano exploring the musical theme that Bernstein had culled from the eye chart. |

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. |

by Franz Danzi edited by György Balassa. 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." |

C1688:
Brooklyn Bridge Reduction for Solo B-flat Clarinet and
Piano by Michael Daugherty. Boosey & Hawkes, 2004/2008, SS, 45
+ 21 pages. This 26 minute work for clarinet and symphonic band was
inspired by the stunning views from the Brooklyn Bridge. In four
movements (each of which represents a view): I. East, II. South, III.
West, and IV. North. When performed with band the work is unusual as it
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. |

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.  |

(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

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.' " |

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 clarinetists. |

Calmato (4/4). The melodic material is lyrical and melodious but may
also be highly decorated with runs and arpeggios (first movement). The
second movement is in tarantella style; third movement is very quiet
and in a simple mood. The piano accompaniment requires an excellent
performer with good technique. This is good repertoire for the advanced
college clarinetist. |

movement. This appears to be a challenge worthy of an advanced college
player. |

C1126: Romance for Clarinet and Piano by
Edward German edited by Colin Bradbury. Lazarus Edition, 1998, SS, 11 +
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

challenging and will require a player with excellent technique. The

probably be played by most competent high school players and above.  |

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.

C1204: Ritual Clarinet & Piano by
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." |

poetic music, steeped in late romantic period style but with
modernistic, and somewhat impressionistic, approach. While a one
movement work, it has six major sections with contrasting tempos. It is
both very beautiful music and a great challenge for both performers.

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 Übermut. 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

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

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. We can get the accompanying parts. The orchestral
version would be approximately $150 and the band edition $125. The
duration is a little less than 4 minutes. (Except other items with free shipping.) |

by the composer) by Darius Milhaud. Elkan-Vogel/Theodore Presser, 1942,
SS, 35 + 12 pages. Dedicated to Benny Goodman. Four movements: I.
Lively, II. In very strict time, III. Slowly (4/4) and IV. Final
(Lively). Paraphrasing Prof. Heim: This is a major work in the clarinet
concerto repertoire. 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. |

C506: Duo Concertant for Clarinet and Piano
by Darius Milhaud. Heugel, 1956, SS, 11 + 3 pages. Written for Ulysse
Delécluse, it is a one-movement work with three contrasting sections. A
jazz influence is found rhythmically and melodically. It is a
virtuoso-sounding piece that is satisfying for the player and listener.
The clarinet part requires facile technique, short, fast staccato, and
good embouchure flexibility. |

C357: Scaramouche (Piano Reduction) by Darius
Milhaud. Editions Salabert, SS, 19 + 7 pages. For clarinet in B-flat.
Lively first (Allegro) and third (Brazileira) movements surround the
middle (Moderato) movement which alternates between melancholy and
lighter phrases. The clarinet edition (by the composer) may work better
with the piano than with the somewhat bombastic orchestral
accompaniment written for the original alto saxophone version. |

consists of three movements: Trés rude (4/4), Lent (9/8) and Trés rude
(4/4). The fast movements are dissonant and atonal; harmony is based on
chords in thirds. The second movement is lyrical. A good work for
college graduation recitals and professional programs. |

C1617:
Mozart Clarinet Concerto K 622 (Piano Reduction)
edited by Karl Leister. Edizioni Musicali Eufonia, 2003(?), SS, 36 + 7
pages. In the preface Luigi Magistrelli writes: "Prof. Karl Leister's
revision, recorded here, is a result of his vast wealth of experience
in live and recorded performances of the work. 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." This version is for a standard
clarinet in A not a basset clarinet. |
