I have a graduate student from Poland studying with me and he is
interested in American clarinet repertoire before the Bernstein Sonata
(1942). I'm having trouble thinking of much repertoire from before
WWII. What did American players play back then, mostly European rep?

Also, does anyone know when the Bernstein Sonata became popular? Was iw
an instead hit, or did that happen after Bernstein became famous?
