Twentieth Century Czech composers have been prolific in clarinet music
Please browse the Czech Music Information Centre site. www.musica.cz
In the 1980s I presented a quantity of Czech and Slovak music to
the library of the Clarinet and Saxophone Society which is now
at Colchester. If not pilfered, it is available on loan to members.

Do you want a single movement or a full sonata,
a tonal or serial style work, etc?
I recommend Flosman and Morawetz from the list below

Lubor Barta Sonata
Peter Con Sonatina (Slovak)
Eduard Dousa Sonatina
Eduard Dousa Rhapsodic Movement
Jiri Dvoracek Hra (Play)
Zdenek Fibich Selenka (Idyll) arrd Kostohryz
Joraoslav Frankl Sonatina

Subject: [kl] Czech and/or Slovak composers

I am thinking of entering a competition, and one of the pieces has to be
by a Czech or Slovak composer.
Does anyone have an idea for pieces? Clarinet/piano, or Trio with Violin?
I know of the Martinu, anything else out there?
