Darius Milhaud's Sonatina

Author: Mario
Date: 2001-09-18 12:51

Well, after the summer break, it's back to my lessons. My teacher surprised me with Milhaud's Sonatina ... Wow what a piece !!! Reminds me of Stravinsky. Kind of a "cubist" work. Unfortunately, I can't find any insight notes/background on it. Can anybody help with significate details to help me give a direction to my interpretation ? Thanks .

Hi Mario,
Here are a few recordings that appear in the discography section on Sneezy. I have heard Meyer's and Cohler's are excellent, although I actually have not listened to them.
Milhaud pieces are usually very rythmic with an almost jazzy beat to them and should be played very lightly and witty!
You can check:

to hear it play in realaudio format...

Hope this helps,.

a superb clarinetist..."--Fanfare Magazine

Jacque Lancelot plays that piece on a CD too. Was that piece dedicated to him?
