Hi,

I have to play on a clarinet recital with some other professionals in my
town. Since I really don't want to rehash some of the clarinet standard
lit., I was hoping that you all would be able to direct me to a couple of
internet sites dealing with new lit. It needs to be fairly difficult and
challenging and not atonal. Also, I would like to expand my literature not
only for the clarinet but also for saxophone and flute. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Dear Mary

Do you know the "Ten Easy Sketches for clarinet and piano" by Theo Loevendie
(Donemus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands)? Despite the title they are NOT easy,
and though written in 1970, they are not atonal although modern effects like
clusters, multiphonics and so on do appear.

If that one is too easy to you, did you ever get acquainted with the
Concerto for clarinet and orchestra by the Russian composer E. Khagagortyan,
published 1971 in Moscow? I bought it during a vacation in Moscow in 1972,
but never heard it played. It is edited solo part with complete score and
pianoreduction, and at that time cost only 1R35, but of course now that
price will be different. You should be able to play as high as C''''.

Wish you good luck with it.

Your

Rien (note the correct spelling)
