Re: Solo with Concert Band

Martin Ellerby and Phillip Sparke have both composed nice concertos for clarinet and wind band that are challenging for the band and soloist, but not outrageously hard. I would say the band parts are at around Gr. 4. These were both written for Linda Merrick, who has commissioned works for clarinet and band. On the transcription side of things, there are decent arrangements of the Weber Concertino and the Mozart Concerto as well. If you just want fun, look for "Immer Kleiner" - Schriener, where the clarinet soloist bit by bit removes a piece of the instrument throughout the performance. There is still some good playing, but really it is just a fun showpiece that audiences love.
