Classics for Bass clarinet Vol. 2
CONCERTI
Having experienced the difficulty of finding original works for bass clarinet
and orchestra, whether for recitals, auditions or competitions, I decided to
compile a collection of a variety of works, of varying styles and levels of
difficulty, originally written for other instruments (often bassoon or cello) but
that are well-adapted to bass clarinet performance.This second volume includes
only the solo part, transposed in Bb and written in treble clef.
These parts may be played with the corresponding piano accompaniments.
I have respected the original text as faithfully as possible. On several occasions,
chords written for a string instrument have been transformed, replaced either by
an arpeggio or the the most "important" note of the harmony. Otherwise, the
keys, articulations, registers and dynamics are faithful to the original text, except
for the breathing indications, which I added when necessary.
This collection will appeal to musicians loooking for a rich offering of concerti
repertoire for clarinet bass and and orchestra.
