There is a beautiful Sonata for 2 Bb clarinets by Donizetti.

All the best.

>> Hi all,
>> I am looking for a recommendation for a clarinet duet, either (2) Bb
>> or (1) Bb and (1) A) for a chamber music concert, with the following
>> =A0guidelines:
>>
>> 1. Level is advanced intermediate to advanced, could be professional
>> level. We are both good amateurs able to play Hindemith Sonata, Arnold
>> Sonata, Poulenc Sonata etc. Piece should last 10-20 minutes.
>>
>> 2. The duet is for a concert for the general public (paying) so =A0somet=
hing
>> not TOO modern or abstract. No experimental kind of music, nothing too
>> far out of the normal classical realm. We would like it to be audience
>> friendly. This lets out a duet such as Poulenc Clarinet duet - too
>> abstract - but other modern composers who are more lyrical would be
>> great.
>>
>> 3. Something written for violin/viola or other instruments would be =A0f=
ine.
>> We would want it to be already transcribed for clarinet.
>>
>> 4. Music needs to be classical sounding or "world" type music. No jazz =
=A0in
>> any form EXCEPT a classical-sounding jazz like Gershwin etc. would be
>> just fine. This concert is advertised as a classical chamber concert
>> so the duet needs to fit within that terminology.
>>
>> 5. We likely do NOT have a pianist available, nor any other type of
>> clarinet.
>>
>> 6. We have already played Krommer (all 3 movements) and Crusell and =A0w=
ould
>> like something a
>> bit more modern.
>>
>> 7. I have checked out the free music offered by the Clarinet Institute =
=A0of
>> Los Angeles. Other sites
>> to check would be appreciated. However, we want the music to sound =A0li=
ke
>> it was written

>> =A0sounds like it.

>> Your suggestions are appreciated.
