"Immer Kleiner" (German for "Always Smaller") is printed both for
clarinet and band, and a piano reduction version. It is available
through Ludwig Music, 557 E. 140th St., Cleveland, OH 44110-1999. Ph. #
1-800 851-1150. Composer is Adolf Schreiner, and transcribed by George
S. Howard.

I called it corny, but it was a challenging piece, particularly playing
on the upper joint alone, and altering the amount your right index
finger covers the end to try to maintain some semblence of intonation.
All in all, the piece is a 'gas'. I did transpose the ending when you're
on mpc and barrell alone. The score calls for this pitch to be concert
Ab, but I transposed the piano part a half step down to G as that is as
high I could get on my set up.
