Hello,
I'm planning to have a recitle around June. I'm working on Mozart Quintet with a string quartet. I'm also considering Brahms Sonata no.1 for the repertory. I've never had such recitle before so I need some advice from you all! Are there any good chamber music that we can work on before June? Or do you think mozart and brahms will be good enough? Thanks.

These two works make demands on your playing both technique and (very importantly) interpretation. Maybe you might consider a 20th century sonata to balance the program, the Hindemith is a fine example (technially quite challenging and your pianist needs to be very talented). Good luck, hope this helps.

A nice contrast might be the Milhaud Trio for clarinet,violin and piano. It's 20th century but light and melodious.

What about the Stravinsky Three Pieces? You might need something else because they're really short but they would round out your program. They're for clarinet alone- maybe an encore?

Katfish's suggestion is a good one, especially since you'll have a couple of violinists are your disposal, as it were.

I did a very similar recital last year. Here is my program:
Beethoven: Trio in Bb Major, Op. 11
Brahms: Sonata no. 1 in f minor op. 120
Stravinksy: Three pieces for clarinet solo. Number 3
Interval
Messager: Solo de concours
Poulenc: Sonata
For an encore i played the theme and last two variations from Giampieri's "Il carnevale de venezia"

So, is this a chamber recital or your degree recital? Well, if it's just a chamber recital I suggest adding Prokofieff's "Overture on Hebrew Themes". It's very beautiful.

If you can get together a woodwind quintet with a good pianist, the Poulenc "Sextour"--even just the first movt--would be a fine addition to any chamber recital. Very lyrical, light and fun for everyone to play. If you have a double bass friend, Morton Gould's "Benny's Gig" would be fun. A series of 8 short bass/clarinet duets in blues and jazz style, written for the great jazz clarinetist Benny Goodman, honoring his 70th birthday, May 30,1979. Hope these help--Good Clarineting!!!!!!!

Hi, Won Kim
It's so good to read your post. It seems not so long ago we read that you were anxious about what you should do and how to follow your interests. Now it appears that you have found your direction and are going after it. There are so many good suggestions above, I certainly cannot add to them. I can, however, wish you well and much good fortune as you persue your goals.
Thank you, Won Kim. Posts like yours are an inspiration to the rest of us

Thank you so much for your suggestions. I certainly would like to try all of them, but I found that it would be little too hard for the following June recitle. I'll definitely use them for our next recitle.
Thank you ron also. I of course remember that I posted what should I do and you advised me to go for it! The people I asked to play with me now became my best friends and I truely enjoy rehearsing chamber music every saturday. I thank you all for helping me out.
