The Perilous Shore, II. Hoedown (Mad Cow), and III. Put Your Loving Arms Around Me. An advanced, professional level piece.
Gnarly Buttons - Michael Collins
"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.

C2101: Pacific Serenade for clarinet and piano by Miguel del Aguila. Peermusic, 2001/2013, SS, 15 + 6 pages. Miguel del Águila (1957-) is an Uruguayan-born American composer of contemporary classical music. Written in 1998 and originally for clarinet and string quartet, Pacific Serenade was commissioned by Pacific Serenades Ensemble who premiered it 1998 in Los Angeles. In general the music is extremely quiet, delicate, sensuous and sentimental. The sensuousness is created by the use of South American folkloric idioms, especially the Brazilian choro, which is at times combined with Blues melodies and Jazz harmony. In this version for clarinet and piano, some movements are expanded and some piano harmonies are . The clarinet part remains close to the original. Early college level with some glissandos. Here is a performance of the first movement (of four with the clarinet tacit on the very brief third movement).

"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.

This clarinet concertino is based on the composers Concertino for Violin and String Orchestra, composed in 1993. At that time he had already sketched both versions for solo clarinet and flute.

The third begins with a cadenza using thematic material from the previous slow movement to link without interruption with the Presto. It uses main ideas from the first movement but in 3/4 instead of 4/4 and at a somewhat faster tempo. Another clarinet cadenza leads to the jovial and brief final coda. College level.

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 extends in 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. Entering the Royal Parma School of Music as a boarder at the age of eleven, Giusto Dacci (1840-1915) was to spend the rest of his working life there as piano teacher, Professor of Harmony and eventually, in 1875, Director and Composer in Residence. 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).

The rhythmic structure of the measures is unusual. Recommended for college and professional level receitals. The piano part requires an excellent performer."

C2627: Sonata for Clarinet and Piano by Peter Maxwell Davies. Chester, 1989, SS, 30 + 10 pages. Peter Maxwell Davies (1934-2016) was an English composer and conductor. This work, which was written shortly after the Trumpet Sonata and the Five Pieces For Piano, was first performed by Georgina Dobree and the composer at the 1957 Darmstadt Festival. The score was subsequently lost, but was rediscovered by Kevin Corner in 1983. This is a dramatic, emphatic and at times extravagant piece. The first movement is a Moderato reaching through wide-flung clarinet lines and keen piano gestures to a great climax near the end. Then comes a quick movement, a kind of demonic scherzo, including a cadenza for the clarinetist. The finale is an Adagio that gradually achieves a sort of simplicity, though not before exceedingly testing times for both players. Duration is about 25 minutes. This is an advanced work for both the clarinetist and pianist. Click on the cover image to see the second page from the clarinet part.

C2113: Premiere Rhapsodie for Clarinet and Piano by Claude Debussy edited by Guy Dangain. Billaudot, 2013, SS, 17 + 7 pages. Dangain has consulted the two original manuscripts (clarinet and piano, clarinet and orchestra) to bring about a  edition in a  light. Where discrepancies exist between the two manuscripts, the alternatives are noted in the score. For advanced performers. Because this edition presents two and in one case three alternatives for some phrases, the clarinet part takes more pages than the traditional editions. We recommend it for those who are already familiar with the work and want to study it in more detail. Click on the cover image to see a sample page from the clarinet part.

C2624: Premiere Rhapsodie for Clarinet and Piano by Claude Debussy edited by Douglas Woodfull-Harris. Baerenreiter, 2017, SS, 25 + 5 pages. Debussy’s Première Rhapsodie is one of two concertante works completed, premiered and published during his lifetime. He was commissioned to write it in 1909 for the final examination at the Paris Conservatoire in 1910. Debussy orchestrated it in the summer of 1911. While transferring the clarinet part from the already published version for clarinet and piano, he made a few subtle changes, particularly in m. 201, which has been a bone of contention among clarinettist's for over a century. The present scholarly-critical publication is the first Urtext edition of the orchestral version. It draws on every known source and takes into account a previously ignored source that sheds  light on the piece. Includes an introduction in English, French and German as well as Sources and Critical Commentary in English. Click on the cover image to see a sample page from the clarinet part.

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.

C2507: Summer Solstice for Clarinet and Strings Piano Reduction by Daniel Dorff. Presser, 1993/2017, 27 + 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.'"

C824: Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra (Piano Reduction) by Jean Françaix. Editions Musicales Transatlantiques, 2013, 45 + 18 pages. This is a  edition of this work. It was decided that the piano reduction in the previous edition was too difficult to execute correctly. A  one has been prepared by Claude Françaix (the composer's daughter) and Tiziana de Carolis. In 1992 this work was performed by Phillipe Cuper under the direction of the composer. It was determined that the tempos were too fast in each movement and that has been corrected here. This is a difficult contemporary (1968) French concerto in four movements: Allegro, Scherzando, Andantino, and Allegrissimo.

C897: Sonatine for Clarinet and Piano by Pierre Gabaye. Leduc, 1959, SS, 19 + 8 pages. Pierre Gabaye (1930-2000) studied under Aubin at the Paris Conservatory. He is most noted for his works for wind instruments with piano. In three movements: Allegro, Largo and Prestissimo. The first movement is in the style of a prelude; 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 for the college level 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 level clarinetists.

Upper intermediate level with a duration of about 5 minutes.

C1620: Blues da Un Americano a Parigi for Clarinet and Piano by George Gershwin arranged by Michele Mangani with clarinet elaboration by Hengel Gualdi. Edizioni Eufonia, SS, 6 + 2 pages. After a number of requests we have made this clarinet solo based on An American in Paris our first direct import from Italy. We have found two somewhat different performances on YouTube that will give you a good idea of what this sounds like (neither of these play straight through on my computer). The first 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.

C2441: George Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue transcribed for clarinet and piano by Frederic Cellier. Editions Henry Lemoine, 2013, SS, 38 + 9 pages. From Gregory Barrett' review in Clarinet: French clarinetist Frédéric Cellier has followed in the footsteps of George Gershwin's original orchestrator, Ferde Grofé, ... Cellier's full page written introduction to this transcription recounts Gershwin's compositional inspirations and the importance to him of the clarinet as well as the piano. Cellier's version retains the entire form of the well-known Grofé orchestration and, for the most part, retains the solo piano's writing in the clarinet/piano version. Smartly, Cellier does occasionally move melodic writing from the piano into the clarinet to more equally balance the role of clarinet and piano. The clarinet plays the expected licks and the main melodic lines whether they are from woodwind, string or brass in Grofé's familiar version. Both musicians will be very busy from start to finish, even the more so if the clarinetist takes the bass clarinet option in place of clarinet for two sixteen measure sections. Have fun!

Henghel Gualdi (1924-2005) was an Italian jazz clarinetist who was considered by many to be the best Italian jazz clarinetist of all time. We believe this is a transcription of how he played Summertime. A wonderful piece, but for performance the clarinetist needs to be comfortable with the jazz style. Range to altissimo B-flat. We believe the CD is a string accompaniment. Click here to see a performance of this edition. Click on the cover image to view the first page of the clarinet part.

C2287: George Gershwin's Three Preludes for Clarinet and Piano transcribed and arranged by Charles Neidich. Lauren Keiser Music Publishing, 1927/2014, SS, 10 + 4 (+1) pages. Taking inspiration from Jascha Heifetz' masterful transcription of George Gershiwn's wonderfully original Three Preludes, clarinetist Charles Neidich has created a work that functions as a real duet between the clarinet and piano. Rather than simply transpose the Heifetz violin part, Neidich adapted the work to fit the clarinet, taking what works well and changing other parts, often returning to Gershwin's original to fit the character of the clarinet. The transcription includes an A clarinet part in E minor for those who find the second Prelude's original key of D-sharp minor daunting.

Giron studied music at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Tulane 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.

Otto Goldschmidt (1829-1907) 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.

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 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."

While advanced college level students can handle this work, it would be most successful on professional recitals.

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. Here is an audio recording which also shows the score.

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 Literature in Outline by Dr. Norman Heim.)
