I did the first recording of this work in 1991. It is on the Summit label,
DCD 124. The liner notes explain a lot about the piece. I suggest
listening to the old tune, "Harbor Lights" so you can hear the references
to the tune in the piece. It is one of my favorite pieces for clarinet and
piano by a composer "still above ground". Best of luck working on it.

Fell free to contact me off the list if you want to "talk" about the piece more!

I just realized you are from Italy.... if you want the disk, Summit has a
European representative, let me know the store where you buy disks and I'll
have a copy sent there if there is not one in stock.
