Obscure repertoire

Author: acusado

Hello everyone! I've been trying to expand my current repertoire and I've been managing to find new fun pieces, but I'm looking for a recording/score of some pieces.

Joseph Jongen: Concertino, op.132
Joseph Jongen: Recitativo et Airs de Ballet
Jules Mazellier: Fantaisie-Ballet
Bernard Alain: Concerto-Lyrique
Jeanine Rueff: Concertino
Richard de Guide: Suite inspirée d'un folklore imaginaire, op.32
Raoul Laparra: Prelude-Valse et Irish Reel
Gaston Litaize: Recitatif et Theme Varie
Joseph Barat: Solo de Concours

I'd be more than happy if someone could help me find the score of these pieces, mainly "Suite inspirée d'un folklore imagniaire". (the title is very intriguing.)

I'd love too if I could discover new pieces through here.

Best regards.

Kalmen Opperman authored a little book titled, "Repertory of the Clarinet" (Columbo, 1960). It listed pieces by title, composer and publisher, and it was divided into sections for unaccompanied, solo with piano, solo with orchestra, and various chamber and other groupings. It also had a list of publishers and their addresses. Quite comprehensive at the time. Is there any more up-to-date such compendium?

There's a lot of music, both standard and super-obscure in the Clarinet Institute's collections.

So, your Richard de Guide piece is in 'blasmuzikshop' but the bad news it is about 29 Euro

More recent (2004) and with a different focus than Opperman is An Annotated Guide To Wind Chamber Music for Six to Eighteen Players by Rodney Winther.
Extremely well indexed with lengthy list of publishers as well.

I looked for the OP's list of composers in its index; none there.

An extensive list of chamber works for clarinet written mostly by composers I've never heard of, for what that's worth, compiled by Nancy Brathwaite, is here:
