Re: What is to be thought of transcriptions and arrangements?

Barry, I was just thinking about the same Mozart concerto.

The Copland violin sonata sounds great in its clarinet version, and the composer was also pleased. I also enjoy the clarinet version of the Vaughan Williams Six Studies in English Folk Song.

I wonder how Robert Schumann would have felt about Fred Hemke's alto sax
version of the Three Romances. In the hands of a good player, it's very nice.

One transcription that doesn't thrill me is the clarinet version of the Prokofiev flute/violin sonata, which has also been transcribed for clarinet and orchestra. I've heard some excellent recordings, but for some reason, it sounds more like a flute piece to me (nothing against flutes!).

I once heard a recording of one of the Brahms clarinet sonatas played by a french horn. It was a good horn player and he played it well, but for me, it didn't work at all.

The Cesar Franck violin sonata is wonderful music, and it has also been played on an assortment of other instruments. Someone once created a clarinet version, but for some reason, it never caught on, and I'm not sure why. There's a saxophone performance on YouTube that's very nice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyUjV6fN2Ag
