WW152: Three Duets WoO 27 for Clarinet and Bassoon by Ludwig van Beethoven edited by Jerry Kirkbride and Jane Taylor. International Music Co., 1979, SS, 13 pages for each part (no score). While there is some doubt that Beethoven wrote these pieces, they are popular nonetheless. I. Allegro commodo, Larghetto sostenuto, Rondo (Allegretto); II. Allegro affecttuoso, Aria (Larghetto), Rondo (Allegro moderato); and III. Allegro sostenuto, Andantino con moto, Allegro assai.

24.45

WW132: Shadows Duo for Flute and Clarinet by Jane Brockman. Arsis Press, 1985, SS, 7 pages (score format). The tradition of imitation which has historically inspired two-voice music can be likened to an object and its shadow, continually evident in this composition. At times, the instrumental identities become obscured, and one is not certain which instrument is playing which line. Also, the musical language of Richard Wagner still has much relevance for this composer. It is his shadow which is 'felt' throughout the work as the leitmotiv of Kundry (from Parsifal) is employed melodically, but without its characteristic rhythm--and in a new context. A college level work with a duration of about 6 minutes.

WW158: Two Cats for Flute and B-flat Clarinet by Daniel Dorff. Tenuto Publications, 2008, SS, 8 pages. In score format with two copies. Close on the heels (paws?) of his already popular Three Romances, composer Daniel Dorff has presented us with another flute and clarinet duet. The composer's program notes are as follows: "Being quite fond of my flutist-partner's two cats, I chose this opportunity to make musical portraits of Hootie, a handsome and elegant 20-pound tuxedo cat, and Tiki, a petite bengal princess. Hootie's music is generally in a slow pulse with lyrical 16ths flowing, just as Hootie is pensive and outwardly still, while clearly being very busy inside. The final phrase is marked snoozendo poco a poco. The final measures of the Hootie movement are identical to the beginning of the Tiki movement, just as in reality one cat's end is sometimes notably close to the other's beginning. After a 'peacefully lurking' introduction, Tiki's remarkable showcat grace and playful lightness are set as an effervescent scherzo, including some double-tonguing (after all, her name is ti-ki), a bit of fluttertonguing as Tiki can sound herself, and with a regally strutted circus march in the middle of the scherzo." College level with a duration of about 8:15.
11.95
WW37: Duos for Flute and Clarinet Op. 24 by Robert Muczynski. G. Schirmer, 1991, SS, 13 pages. Includes two copies of the six duets which are in score format. Probably early college level but might be attempted by younger players if the flutist has good command of the third octave.

Somewhat similar in style to Sonata for Two Clarinets, it has three movements: Allegro, Romance, and Final. While the bassoonist faces some endurance issues in the second and third movements, this is excellent recital repertoire.

WW133: Three Duets for Flute and Clarinet by Don Stewart. Trillenium Music, 1999, SS, 8 pages (two parts in score format). Don Stewart (1935-) is an American composer and woodwind performer. This piece was written in 1959 and is one of his earliest compositions. The first duet is a perfect canon but with contrasting sections. The second which the composer originally regarded as "flamenco" in derivation, alternates an intensive melody with a brittle rhythmic background. The third is short and formally simple but polytonal. Early college level.

WW108: Duo for Flute and Clarinet by Antoni Szalowski. Chester, 1948, SS, 14 pages. Szalowski (1907-1973) was a Polish born composer who studied in Warsaw and Paris (with Boulanger). While most of his work was written for strings it is his pieces for winds that are most popular today. He has been described as a neo-classicist, favoring established forms, clear musical content, and contrapuntal writing.  This is one of the more popular (advanced college level) flute and clarinet duets. It is in three movements: I. Allegro, II. Andante, and III. Allegro. It is in score format and has been printed without regard for page turns, so some preparation will be required for performance. Duration is about 8 minutes.

WW138: Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun) arranged for Flute, Clarinet and Piano by Claude Debussy arranged by Michael Webster. International Music, 1994, SS. This piece is one of the most popular flute solos in the repertoire, but as the arranger writes, adapting it for flute and piano has not been very successful because there is too much music to be covered by two instruments. Adding the clarinet produces a more satisfactory result. Both A and B-flat clarinet parts are included. The duration is about 9:20.

WW52: Barn Dances for Flute, Clarinet and Piano by Libby Larsen. Oxford, 2004. SS, 24 + 8 + 8 pages. The composer wrote: "Barn Dances is a set of four abstract pieces. . . Each pieces draws from the name of a particular dance step used in cowboy dances. Taking the name of the step as a point of departure, my idea was to take a flight of fancy in each movement and to create the musical equivalent of a character drawing." The movements are: Forward Six and Fall Back Eight, Divide the Ring, Varsouvianna (a simple dream waltz), and Rattlesnake Twist. Upper college level.

WW126: Music for the Middle of the Day for Flute, Clarinet in B-flat, and Piano by Joseph Makholm. Billaudot, 2006, SS. This piece was written for the Webster trio.

In four movements: 1. Late One Afternoon (At a lazy, but regular, pace), 2. Dolores' Kitchen (Up-tempo bossa), 3. December (Molto rubato), and 4. You Think You Know, But You Don't (Up-tempo swing).
