<<I am planning a recital for late winter, early spring, and I have already

C clarinet (HI Dan!) I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for a piece
that would show it off in recital.

Any suggestions?>>

Walter,

Rossini's "Variations for Clarinet and Small Orchestra" (Not the Intro.,
Theme and Variations) was written for C clarinet and is a great crowd
pleaser. The orchestral clarinet part is indeed in C, but there is a piano
reduction for Bb clarinet available from WIM, Inc. The reduction was
transcribed and arranged by John Neufeld and edited by Mitchell Lurie. I'm
not sure whether or not Western International Music in Los Angeles is still
around. Plus you'd have to transpose the piano accompaniment.

Good Luck!
