Subj: [kl] Strauss Concertino Performance

Hi Laroy,
Thank you for the kind words. Until last summer
for the audition, I did not even know of the Strauss Cl/Bsn
Duo! It was written when Strauss was 82 years and it
is absolutely beautiful. The piece is full of complex rhythms.
Yet while listening, the melodies are so wonderful you don't
even notice. (for example, clarinet part in 4/4 while everyone
else is in 6/4)
The title is actually quite misleading....it should be
called "Piece for Clarinet, Bassoon, Solo String Quintet,
Chamber Orchestra, and Harp." Although, all the solo
attention is quite fun! : )
