Subj: [kl] Carter Concerto
Date: Wed, 27 May 1998 07:35:40 -0400

Apparently the Elliott Carter Clarinet Concerto is being broadcast tonight
(27th) on NPR.
If someone hears it can he/she report if it is with string orchestra.
The original orchestration is fl/ob/eh/bsn, hn/tpt/tbn/tba, 3perc/hp/pno,
1vln1/1vln2/
1vla/1vcl/1cb
I am recording a cd of the Carter Concerto this summer with Nouvel Ensemble
Moderne.
The soloist is supposed to walk over and play with each section of the
orchestra, so he is
actually "in" the section with which he plays.
But I heard Carter made a string orchestra reduction. I hope they are doing
it with
original orchestration tonight.
