I'm writing a poem in which the narrator is a clarinetist. He's sitting in a hospital room with his father, who is dying of emphysema. They share memories of their lives, of failures and hardships, and at the end, as his father is giving up, the clarinetist grasps for hope instead, and he thinks of the opening to a piece of music that he has played often.
I need a recommendation for that piece. I need a classical pick, 18th or 19th Century, that begins with a strong, sustained, exposed note. (One the requires fine breath support, as contrasted to the father's emphysema.)
Any ideas? Thanks in advance, and I look forward to seeing your suggestions.
