This is an updated edition of Francis Poulenc's 1962 work Sonata For Clarinet And Piano edited by Millan Sachania. Featuring the full score and separate Clarinet part this exclusive editionalso includes a download card giving you instant online access to demonstration and accompaniment tracks.   Originally completed in 1962 Poulenc tragically passed away before it could bedefinitively engraved leaving behind a work with a number of ambiguous notational marks that resulted in an incomplete first edition published just a year later. A number of revisions have taken place but this expertly editedby Millan Sachania aims to provide a playable legible precise and authoritative score that reflect closest Poulenc's intentions.   This new edition includes accidentals that may havebeen intended by Poulenc within square brackets as well as cautionary accidentals and the deletion of redundant accidentals. Other amendments like the redistribution of notes between the Piano staves extendingslurs so as to incorporate second or final tied notes in contrast to the previous edition. At all points Sachania has aimed to reproduce an authoritative and accurate score that is at once playable and a reflection ofwhat Poulenc himself may have intended.   What makes this edition of Sonata For Clarinet And Piano really special is the unique download card that provides exclusive onlineaccess to demonstration and accompaniment audio tracks. Professionally-recorded by renowned clarinettist Joy Farrall and pianist Huw Watkins the demonstration track allows you to hear exactly how the piece as a whole shouldsound before the independent Piano-only track lets you take the place of the clarinettist in your very own performance. This is a unique opportunity for clarinettists to learn from an authoritative score and play along to a

Arranged for Clarinet and Piano-Taking inspiration from Jascha Heifetz masterful transcription of George Gershiwns wonderfully original Three Preludes Charles Neidich has created a work that functions as a real duet between the clarinet and piano. Rather than simplytranspose the Heifetz violin part Neidich adapted the work to fit the clarinet taking what works well and changing other parts often returning to Gershwins original to fit the character of the clarinet. The transcription includes an A clarinetpart in E minor for those who find the 2nd Preludes original key of D# minor daunting.

Carl Maria Von Weber's Clarinet Concerto No.1 In F Minor Op.73 was written in 1811. This concerto is in three dynamic movements leading us on a powerful and energetic journey of Clarinet discovery. It is substantially more serious than many of this German Romanticist’s other works and dramatically more expressive. This version is set for Clarinet and Piano accompaniment and is the authoritative Edition Peters Urtext edition.

For solo Clarinet in Bb and Ensemble.Clarinet and Piano Reduction.Commissioned by the Tanglewood Music Center through the generous support of the Mervyn Geffen M.D. and Norman Solomon M.D. New CommissionsFund.First performance by Brent Besner Clarinet and fellows of the Tanglewood Music Center August 2010.1. With Vigour2. Free and Enigmatic3. CalmoThere is usually some sort of extra-musicalstarting point for my pieces and for the Clarinet Concerto this was ‘The Cracked Bell’ by Baudelaire. In a short space of time the work seemed to take over and move further away the original stimulus with the character andinteractive roles of the soloist and ensemble were suggested by the wintry evocative atmosphere of the poem.The piece opens with declamatory cadenza-like passages in the clarinet that are in turn commented on by theensemble. A more playful section where the clarinet line is very virtuosic leads to a long gently-unfolding melody in the ensemble that begins in the depths of the bass register and gradually gets much higher. Virtuosicclarinet lines interject against the accompaniment and both pursue their own course until culminating in a high impassioned melody for the clarinet coloured by fast-moving passage work in the higher registers of ensemble. Themovement ends with the ‘call and response’ lines of its opening.The second movement opens with an extended solo for the clarinet in its haunting chalumeau register. With each rising phrase the clarinet line gets higheruntil the ensemble enters in unison. The movement becomes much faster and energetic from this point with brisk fleeting lines for soloist and ensemble.The third movement is the most reflective of the three. It opens witha flute solo leading to the solo clarinet line and makes much of the poignant singing style which is so characteristic of the instrument. A melancholy falling passage in the ensemble becomes a recurring feature before the

These three pieces for Clarinet and Piano are already well known under the title Phantasiestucke Op.73. What is not generally known is that numerous important differences exist between the original manuscript and the first published version (the further model for all later editions). For the first time ever the pieces are being published exactly as they appear in Schumann's manuscript entitled Soireestucke.All points of difference between the manuscript and the first edition are outlined in a full commentary by Richard Platt and the significance of these differences emphasised by Alan Hacker in his Foreword where he comments on the superior strength of theoriginal: 'greater assymetry slightly varied harmony and many other touches all intensify passionate and impulsive instability the main expression of the work.'

Duo Concertante Op. 351 by Darius Milhaud was composed in 1956 for the Paris Conservatoire Contest. Many influences can be recognised in this piece: from the Provence where he was born to Jazz and other melodies of South America. Lasting approximately 7 minutes Duo Concertante Op. 351 is started by a fanfare with a strong energy reminiscent of the South of France followed by a simple and moderate Clarinet partly joined by Piano chords. The initial theme is then repeated one last time for the finale. Darius Milhaud (1892-1974) was a French modernist composer and a teacher. He wasalso part of the Les Six and was strongly influenced by Jazz. His opus list ended at 443.

This album plays tribute to Gershwin's unique melodic genius which gave us such gems as Embracable You and Summertime. These and other favourites are arranged here for B Flat Clarinet with Piano Accompaniment.

Barenreiter Urtext Edition of Brahms' Sonatas In F Minor And E-Flat Op.120 for Clarinet and Piano.Features:A pioneering Urtext edition with an extensive Performance Practice CommentaryFor further information on Romantic performance practice we recommend the text booklet: ?Performance Practices in Johannes Brahms? Chamber Music? BA 9600Brahms had already announced his 'retirement' from composition when in the spring of 1894 he played chamber music with the cellist Robert Hausmann and the clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld. This encounter renewed Brahms' enthusiasm for Mühlfeld?s muchadmired playing and inspired him to write two new Clarinet sonatas in the summer of the same year. Brahms and Mühlfeld premiered the works and played them in several performances until the Sonatas Op.120 were first published in June 1895. These two works remain pivotal in the Clarinet?s recital repertoire establishing the Clarinet sonata as a distinct and viable chamber music genre.This edition features an extensive preface that informs about the sonatas? origins their compositional process pre-publication performances and their publication history as well as their early reception. Another truly remarkable aspect of this publication is the unique Performance Practice Commentary. Here the editors start from the premise that only a few decades after Brahms' death a widening gulf was already developing between the composer's expectations and the performance practices of the early 20th century. On the basis of manifold sources which include memoirs by pupils and chamber music partners treatises and essays early instructive editions and historical recordings the editors deal with key issues in understanding Brahms' notation. The editors provide an indispensable assistance for a historically informed interpretation of the work through a section-by-section analysis of rhythm and timing dynamics and accentuation dots and strokes slurring and non legato Piano pedalling and overholding Piano arpeggiation and dislocation Clarinet vibrato and portamento. At the same time the edition offers an exciting and often surprising
