Does anyone know the difficulty of this piece? I was thinking about doing it for my senior recital

I read some comments on this piece on Mr. Sherman Friedland's page (follow the GENERAL link above).
He says it's more challenging stylistically than technically, though the clarinet part is far fom easy. If you haven't been there, have a read.

I worked on the piece this past summer with a couple of other adult amatuers. I don't have it in front of me, some challenges but the clarinet part didn't seem particularly difficult.

It's a four movement piece, probably somewhere around fifteen minutes in duration. We ended up performing the first three movements as the fourth posed a bit of challenge for our pianist. A lot of back and forth with the violin, especially in the second and third movements. You'll probably need to spend some time just the two of you working things out.

I wouldn't go so far as calling it a great piece of music, but never the less and enjoyable to work up and perform.

Good luck.
