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. |

Scherzetto for clarinet and piano by

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

and is excellent repertoire for the college clarinetist and is also
suitable for professional recitals.     |

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. |

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

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. |

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.' " |

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
clarinetists. |

C1183:
Sonatina for
Clarinet and Piano
by Pierre Max Dubois. Alphonse Leduc, 1956, SS, 16 + 6 pages. This
piece is in three movements: Misterioso (4/4), Vif et léger (1
2/8) and 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. |

lifetimes. The movements are Andante con moto, e poco rubato;
Variation; and Allegro molto. There are numerous changes in meter in
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. |

(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

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." |

1945, SS, 22 + 7 pages. Dedicated to Frederick Thurston. Prof. Heim
wrote that this is very 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. While advanced college level students can handle this work,
it would be most successful on professional recitals. |

C379: Introduction and Variations for Clarinet and
Piano Op. 128
by Johann Wenzeslaus Kalliwoda edited by Dieter Klöcker.
Kunzelmann,
1985, SS, 14 + 5 pages. Johann Wenzeslaus Kalliwoda (1801-1866) was a
Bohemian violinist and composer who was well known during his life and
wrote symphonies, chamber music, and violin
music. This is a showpiece in theme and variation form. It
begins with an extended Introduction (about 90 measures). Then the
theme,
which is quite florid, two fast variations (con fuoco and con
vivacita), followed by two pages (in the clarinet part) of further
development, a restatement of the theme and the conclusion (Più
mosso). |

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
Literature in Outline by Dr. Norman Heim.) |

for both performers with
mixed meter and one especially unusual time signature of 5/4 and 1/2. |

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

the piano than with the somewhat bombastic orchestral accompaniment
written for the original alto saxophone version. |

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.) |

duration of 4 minutes. Better high school players and up. (Except other items with free shipping.) |
