Arrangement of Walking the Dog for Clarinet and Piano?

Author: Brian Peterson

I'm planning a trip to Nicaragua this summer and would like to play a few mini recitals in schools, community centers, etc. Since rounding up a piano is pretty much impossible I am going to have a friend record a cd accompaniment tape for me. I'm planning to do some classical stuff but would like to end things up with something light and fun. The Gershwin Walking the Dog would be perfect but I haven't had much luck tracking down a reduction for clarinet and piano. Is it available? Thanks.

Brian

I bought this a few years ago when I was at the Oklahoma clarinet symposium. It's an arrangement by Anthony Wakefield. His music is available for purchase on the Sibelius music website.

It's called "Promenade (Walking the Dog)" at http://www.sibeliusmusic.com/index.php?sm=home.score&scoreID=122701.

Enjoy!

A lot of flats missing in the melody so losing the 'bluesy' feel - compare it to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMPCzouW_0s

Chris,

I bought it and I see what you mean. Some just out and out wrong notes.

Steve Girko is my teacher so maybe between the two of us we can figure it out, that is if he doesn't go ballistic when he see it. LOL!!! (sort of)

I see mistakes in bar 20 It should be a grace Eb to E natural and an Eb at the end of that bar. In bar 22 it should end on Eb. This section happens several times in the arrangement. Are there other mistakes? thanks
