Out of curiousity, before I purchase, how would you rate the technicality of this piece? Up there with Theme and Variations by Rossini? Thank you.

I would rate this as a little more difficult than the Rossini Theme and Variations. I think it's a slightly more interesting piece though.

The Cantilene is a nice musical work worth owning. Not sure why Christopher thinks it's harder than Rossini. To each his own I guess. Rossini isn't easy to sound like you are playing with ease. :) The two pieces are toattly different in all regards. Enjoy!

Alexi -

The Cantilene has a number of quick rips that have to be tossed off. These are about the same difficulty as the Rossini, though there are fewer of them.

As I recommended to you a while back, http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=213465&t=213418, I think Cahuzac's own recording is head and shoulders aove the rest. He had a sound as big as a house. Even though the performance is from an ancient 78, it just jumps out of the speakers. Weiner stocks it, http://www7.mailordercentral.com/frederichweinerinc/prodinfo.asp?number=CDRG08.

Yes...Cahouzac's recording of his piece is great. Also get Ricardo's version - very elegant. The difficulty with the Rossini is endurance. The runs may be easy, but you are running all over the place for 12 minutes! That's why it's harder.
