A or Bb Clarinet and Piano - Sonata Capriccio Lirico - This piece was inspired by, written for and dedicated to Leslie Craven. The first movement is a Pastoral in 6/8 time. The second movement is dark in mood and soul searching, morphing into a gentle yet lugubrious melody. An unusual cadenza bridging passage composed by Leslie Craven, (loosely based on thematic material of both second and final movements) links the second and third movement. The third movement is flamboyant, virtuosic and challenging for the performers who appear to be vying for supremacy in the race to the finish.

This happy, brilliant piece is fun to perform and challenges the soloist with contrasting sections and a cadenza. The accompanying piano part supports the flute with a modern harmonic style that introduces young players to the contemporary idiom.

It is a work for violin and piano inspired directly by Paganini's Capriccio No. 13, known as La risata del diavolo and one of the most renowned capriccios from the series of twenty-four composed by the celebrated Genovese violinist and composer. In my version for violin and piano, I have singled out the two essential features of the work: the third notes on a double string that emulate the devil's laughter, and the quick eighth notes that follow, all of it within a light and humorous chromaticism.Il diavolo begins with a slow and fragmented but suggestive violin cadenza. It then follows the Allegro deciso, built on the two features mentioned above. In the central part, yet another violin cadenza of a similar character but which recalls the devil's laughter more evidently. The Allegro deciso goes on up to a carefree and virtuosic finale.The work is dedicated to violinist Jesus Reina.
