Last year, before the Covid-19 virus, just about every live clarinet performance I heard, featured selections from composers like David Maslanka, Michele Mangani, Oscar Navarro, Paquito D'Rivera, and the Bela Kovacs Hommages book--music with quite recognizable melodies and formal structures. Representation from the high-modernists (whose works are usually more demanding for both performer and audience) was scant. So what happened to them? I guess you could say they were, for the moment, displaced by more traditional and easily assimilated composers.
