Hi,
What are your favourite encore pieces for recitals? I like Scherzetto, by Malcolm Arnold.

Hi Tom,
I think Giampieris variations on Carnival of Venice is a good encore piece, even if you only do the theme and a few variations.

I like to use any mvts from the Templeton, "Pocket-Size Sonatas" #1 or #2 and mvts from the Williams English Folk Song Suite; another good choice that you can turn into an exciting barnburner is Finale, mvt III from the Szalowski Sonatina. v/r Ken

Consider Fritz Kreisler's Sicilienne and Rigaudon (which he attributed to Francoeur). The Sicilienne is a gorgeous, warm melody, and the Rigaudon is light and humorous. (But consider that you may be tired at the end of a recital, and the quick tonguing in the Rigaudon could be problematic.) There's a good transcription for clarinet in Bonade's 16 Grand Solos De Concert. http://www.muncywinds.com/index.php/cd-s-printed-music/books/clarinet/bonade-16-grands-solos-de-concert.html (The book is a bit pricey though at $40.)
There are also some excellent transcriptions by Reginald Kell of three movements from Handel's recorder sonatas and, even better, a lyrical Gigue from one of Corelli's violin sonatas. They're available in inexpensive editions from International.

Personally, I like to write hymn arrangements and use that.
Either the first or the third of Gershwin's Three Preludes are fun for an encore.
