Does anyone know who this piece is by? I've looked for it online and have found some mp3s and some arrangements, but I haven't been able to find the actual composer, so i can't order the music. One of my students really wants to play something cute, and that's definately what I would call "cute"

Go to the home page for this site and type "clarinet polka" (without the quotes) into the Sheetmusicplus link at the top of the page. (Also use the pull down menu to change the search from "Composer" to "Song.") You'll get a number of fake book hits but also in there will be a version for clarinet solo, duet or trio with piano for $3.95 plus shipping. Arranged by Herman A. Hummel if you want to look elsewhere.
Best regards,
jnk

The original name for this piece is the Latvian Military Polka. In German speaking countries it is known as "die Klarinetten Muckel". As far as I can tell no composer has claimed responsibility. It is ofet attributed to Krisjanis Liepkalns a Latvian military band clarinettist. On one particular gig I do regularly I have to play the damn thing every time I am there. Regardless of who wrote it I wish they hadn't. For a bit of fun you can transpose it up a tone or a third or whatever after 1000 times it really doesn't matter much. It is also arranged as a duet or trio by some masochist.

I have the score of this so called clarinet polka (also nick-named "Dziadunio") as part of the "Clarinet Solos" published by Amsco, NY City.
There is no composer mentionned for it. Hope this helps.

There are slight melodic variations between the German die Klarinettenmuckl, and the more common version 'Dziadunio' as published by Amsco. The German version may have been slightly altered to lower the difficulty level or facilitate harmonization.
I used to have to play it on a dixieland gig all the time. The bandleader thought it was the Clarinet Marmalade. Sheesh!

There are so many claims on this piece that I doubt there is a factual answer.
