I'm not sure of the tempo markings of the Gaubert Fantaisie. If someone could fill me in on the tempo markings, that would be great! Thanks.
(Misunderstanding!)

Amazon.com has many recordings of this piece. I would say that there are at least 3 recordings or it. Type in the search Gaubert clarinet because Gaubert is mostly known for his flute work so it will narrow down your search immediatly. I love the Gaubert Fantaisie, hope you are liking it too!

Victoria Soames has a really good CD called "Solos de Concours" which contains this pieces. I would suggest getting the CD anyway because it is very good. It can be found on www.amazon.com, www.arkivmusic.com, or directly from her company @ www.clarinetclassics.com (I'm sure it's available many other places as well, I just know for sure those sites have it).

The Soames recording was already previously cited as widely available from many sources including Van Cott Music (a woodwind.org sponsor)...GBK

See the thing is, I didn't want to buy the recroding, simply just find one. I just need the tempo marking. But, thanks anyways.

PS - why is it necessary to point out that you already mentioned that the Soames recording is available... I saw that you mentioned it, but thought I would comment because I have that particular one and think it's good... Is that a problem?

I believe that there is a reason that there are no tempo markings in the Gaubert and pieces like it. This was a work that was written for graduate clarinet students at the Paris conservatory. It is to be assumed that anyone playing it would be able to create their own tempi based on the content of the piece. For example, I believe that there is some sort of describing word at the beginning that says, "lento" or the like. So play this slowly--however, I tended to play the triplets faster as if they were my own cadenzas. This being because I feel that the tempo is elastic in a sense. There are more markings all over the music, and more often then not, there are instances where you find the words a tempo. This is usually accompanied by a change in the mood of the piece or transition to another section. Just go with what you know here. The first section is slow, the second section is fast, the third section is slower ( 6 beats per measure), the next section is a recap of the second, and the vivo is faster still. The last section is Ab arpeggio etc, is the fastest as it leads to the end of the piece. I would suggest talking to your teacher about this, and really learning to read a piece without necessarily having to have a specific metronome marking (there are exceptions to this rule). The most important thing is that you play this work and works like it as if it were the easiest thing in the world. They are very much like mini clarinet operas in which the clarinet is the prima donna. I hope this helps some.
