Re: Tempo Markings: ERWINN Fantasia for Clarinet

I've never heard of anyone playing this piece EVER before and this is the first time I've heard it mentioned on this board.

When I was in high school my band director told me that if I could play the Erwinn Fantasy then I would be a clarinet player. I adored this band director and felt as if the gauntlet had been thrown down and the challenge was now ON! I bought it immediately and started to work on it when I had time. I didn't bring it up to my college professor until my sophomore year. He had never heard of it but allowed me to play it any way. I mastered it and performed it for a student recital and summer jury. I made straight A's on it and still really like the piece.

I don't hear about Erwinn much and it's not on our MSHSAA Bandmaster's list of approved solos for contest. Anyone know why? I thought it was a nice solo but I may be bringing sentimental feelings into the mix. Anyone else out there have impressions of this solo?

The title and composer are:
Erwinn Fantasia by G. Meister arr. G. Langenus
published by Carl Fischer 1916

Thanks for your input,
Rebecca
