Demnitz is most widely known for his clarinet studies rather than his
pieces, in my knowledge.Being a music student and a clarinet tutor, I have
never come across Demnitz in any other form. If he is playing one of the
Demnitz studies, which I think is on the grade four list, I expect that the
examiner will be more interested in facts about the composers of the pieces
rather than the study. Since Demnitz is not particularly prolific, I think
the information you already have is likely to be enough.
