 Re: Would you call the clarinet repertoire small?

The repertoire for the clarinet is growing every year. Part of the problem, as I see it, is a reluctance on the part of teachers and performers to search out new music and embrace it. There are plenty of composers out there, myself included, who would welcome performers' interest in their music. The standard rep is over-used and over-recorded. I taught theory/composition at the college level for 40 years and grew very tired of hearing recitals on which Debussy was the "contemporary" selection. It's up to the performers and teachers to support today's music; it's also smart for composers to seek out performers for their music and to work with them. It's almost always a win-win situation.
Since retiring I have been delighted by the amount of quality new music available to hear on Youtube and other channels. Much of this music deserves to be standard repertoire, too.
