I'm not familiar with this clarinet and harp work by Damase.
There's a flute and harp sonata by him on an Odyssey (Sony)
tape with Rampal on flute in several flute and harp pieces.

In case the clarinet piece you're working on is a transcription
of the flute work (or vice versa) this recording might help you.

I really enjoyed hearing this work by Damase. Are there other works
by him that feature clarinet?
