 Re: THE IMPOSSIBLE! Clarinet solos?

Let's see, in terms of hard solos that were written specifically clarinet, the Poulenc Clarinet Sonata (FP 184) definitely has its fair share of awkward leaps, altissimo notes, and musical challenges. The Weber concertos (Op. 73 &74) are somewhat difficult because you have to be really operatic in your phrasing and dynamics, also the second concerto goes up to altissimo Bb in the first movement. Anything by Brahms (Op. 114, Op. 115, and the Op. 120's) is somewhat difficult because, as scholars put it, Brahms had "no respect for the bar line", so it is somewhat difficult to keep track of where you are with the accompaniment playing. Mozart is more of a musical challenge and is one of those composers where even if you don't know the piece, you will still hear someone screw up. I would not recommend auditioning for anything with the Mozart Clarinet Concerto, as any clarinet judge will nail you for the tiniest of errors. But in terms of solos to play, the Mozart Quintet in A major (K. 581), the Serenade in Bb (Gran Partita K. 361), and the Concerto (K. 622), all offer their fair share of challenges. Anything not originally written for clarinet will present its fair share of challenges. Good luck and happy playing.
