Concerto No. 1 for Clarinet and Strings, Op. 20
Written   
Duration   
Comments  Ded. to Fredrick Thurston. Written in conservative style with little dissonance. Second Movement requires the most technique with thirty-second arpeggios. Good concerto for a medium level student.

Fantasie, Op. 87
Written   
Duration   
Comments  Commissioned by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. A short, sectional solo piece. Technical aspect requires quick arpeggios and sudden changes of dynamics. Good first unaccompanied work for a beginning level college student.

Sonatina
Written   
Duration   
Comments  First and last movements have much energy and drive, with the Andantino being quiet. Similar in style and difficulty to the Concerto.

Three Shanties
Written   
Duration   
Comments  You probably knew that the first movement was based on "What can you do with a drunken sailor," but did you know that the 2nd movement is based on "Boney was a warrior" ("Boney" being Bonaparte, as in Napoleon), and the 3rd is based on "What will the Navy do when good old Lulu's gone?" I've never heard of a quintet who didn't play this piece (too many times).
