Hi

does anybody know what song/etude/study this is, and if so, is there sheet music available anywhere?

Last of Robert Schumann's Fantasy Pieces.

It's not a "song". It's a concert piece. A song is a song. ESP

A good recording of the pieces is by Harold Wright, late principal of the Boston Symphony, and Peter Serkin, on Boston Records. My sheet music is for Bb clarinet and piano, published by G. Schirmer, New York. I don't know whether it's still available (or whether Schirmer is). Sometimes the pieces are listed as "Fantasiestucke" instead of the English translation. Best wishes.

There are arrangements for Bb clarinet that transpose the PIANO part keeping the notes for Bb clarinet the same as the original ("A" Clarinet and piano originally). If you need to play this and you don't have an "A," I'd suggest this option.

the bargain way to get the Fantasy Pieces, along with some Weber, Brahms and Mendelssohn is in "Masterworks for Clarinet and PIANO", G. Schrimer, Inc. Vol 1747.

These are pieces where the piano is far more than an "accompaniment" or a "reduction."

Oh, my, yes. This is a big consideration when deciding to play these pieces -- with whom are you going to partner. I set myself to learning the piano parts to these a number of years ago and had learned the first two. I haven't tackled the third.

Id like to know the pianist who would learn the Fantasy pieces in the WRONG key.

One who doesn't know the pieces, and thus doesn't know the key is "wrong"? Or someone who is used to accompanying singers, and might well have to know particular works in more than one key?

Ooh, I'll bet there are some nasty hand positions. The black keys would all be in the wrong places compared to where Schumann put them.

I think there is a tad bit of a difference between transposing art songs, or even arias, and the Schumann.

I want to play the Brahms sonatas on my A clarinet. Im going to give my accompanist a copy of the Sonatas, transposed down a half step. Never mind the fact that it is horrifically difficult enough in the original key, and the pianist spent weeks, months learning it in the "right" key- I am sure she would have no problem sitting down for a few monts and relearning it again, this time in the wrong key.

Or maybe a conductor might decide to do Daphnis down a step- that should be easy. If an accompanist can do Wintereisse in a few keys, no reason a clarinetist couldnt do Daphnis in the wrong key.
