 Lalo Schifrin-Central Park Variations
Author: ruben 
Date:   2025-07-14 13:29

The composer, Lalo Schifrin, passed away a couple of weeks ago. He is basically known as a film-music composer, but composed quite a few Classical pieces and was classically trained. Central Park variations for clarinet and piano is a very attractive piece. It is played by the great David Schifrin (spelling?), who, if I remember right, was his nephew and whom Lalo Schifrin composed it for. It is on youtube.

Assuming it’s the same composer there is also a work for clarinet and orchestra.

Here is his complete catalogue:

Seems there’s also a work for clarinet and string orchestra

Thanks Peter! A concert of Classical music by film music composers, for clarinet in a chamber ensemble, would be a good idea: Rota, Bernard Hermann, John Williams, Lalo Schifrin, Rozas, etc.

Ruben - actually, I used that idea in a solo recital over twenty years ago: Arthur Honegger Sonatine, Miklos Rozsa Sonatina, Malcolm Arnold Sonatina, Nino Rota Sonata in D, Leonard Bernstein Sonata (although his film output was quite a bit less than the others), and, as an encore, an arrangement of the Love Theme from "Cinema Paradiso" by Ennio Morricone.
