The piano duet part is optional unless no wind is available. The brass parts are fully cued in both string and woodwind parts. The minimum wind required is 1 flute 1 oboe and 2 clarinets.

Duet for Flute and Alto Saxophone (or Clarinet) from The Pirates of Penzance-I>The Pirates of Penzance (Les Pirates de Penzance) est sans doute la plus célèbre opérette du compositeur Gilbert et du librettiste Sullivan. L?œuvre fut créée simultanément en Angleterre et aux États-Unis fin décembre 1879 pour sécuriser les droits d?auteur dans les deux pays. Le succès fut immédiat. Après être restée à l?affiche pendant plus de trois mois à New York l?opérette s?est installée à l?Opéra Comique de Londres en 1880 pour 363 représentations.Ruth la gouvernante du jeune Frédéric est chargée de faire en sorte qu?il devienne pilote des mers. Hélas Ruth un tantinet dure d?oreille confond les termes pilote et pirate et met Frédéric en apprentissagechez une bande de charmants pirates orphelins. À ses vingt et un ans il est libéré de son contrat d?apprentissage et peut réintégrer un modèle de société respectable avec pour obligation de dénoncer ses anciens compagnons. Ruth révèle alors que Frédéric est né une année bissextile un 29 février : il n?a donc en réalité que cinq ans ! Il restera donc apprenti pirate jusqu?à son vingt et unième anniversaire. Entre temps Frédéric s?éprend de Mabel une des nombreuses filles du Major-Général Stanley. L?opérette touche à sa fin et les quiproquos s?enchaînent. Les pirates le Major-Général et toutes ses filles se côtoient dans une joyeuse cacophonie à laquelle un sergent de police timoré réussit à mettre un terme en invoquant la loyauté envers la reine Victoria. Et tout le monde cède.Vers la fin de l?Acte II Frédéric et Mabel chantent un duo d?amour d?une beauté envoûtante ?Ah leave me not to pine alone and desolate? (?Ah ne me laisse pas languir et désespérer?). Philip Sparke en a réalisé un arrangement pour Flûte Traversière et Saxophone Alto (ou Clarinette).

Par SCHWEITZER BENJAMIN. The chiaroscuro-technique developed by painters of the Italian renaissance served to intensify contrasts and effects of optical depth. In Klar/Obskur, I tried to transfer the general idea of this technique on the rather unusual instrumentation of two double-reed woodwinds and piano. On the one hand, a clear, well articulated playing is characteristic for these instruments, on the other hand, they have an often underestimated potential of „twilight“: air-sounds and fragile, shady colours have a especially attractive when being produced by double-reed instruments (which are often, and superficially regarded as being less capable of differentiated sounds than flute or clarinet). The piano, too, has a broad bandwidth of possibilities between percussive and delicate playing to complement the woodwinds which, in return, can absorb and continue the fading piano sounds. The beginning introduces the two contrasting elements that form the basic material for the piece: a clear, sharp chord, followed by fragile, dim sounds. The changes between these elements as well as their combination and amalgamation produce an enormous spectrum of colours and gesture. After this „motto-like“ opening follow four quite clearly separated short sections, each of them being characterised by a well-defined texture: a partly almost imperceptible air-sound passage, a short sequence of microintervallic notes, a burst of virtuosity and a recourse to the fragile sounds of the beginning. The second, longer main part consists of three sections merging subtly into each other: a short unisono-passage, marked elastic [federnd], is being dissolved into its basic elements; from these remainders, a confrontation of low, ‚arcane‘ bassoon and piano sounds and a strongly ornamented melodic line of the oboe emerges, leading to a short but powerful climax. The piece is concluded by an extended, relaxed epilogue, containing a short piano solo and a duet of oboe and bassoon and, finally, a quotation of the „elastic“ character of the middle section.

He also produced a version for string orchestra and both were published in 1926. Two years later in 1928 he made this arrangement for full orchestra. This new edition corrects a few minor errors that were present in the 1928 edition published by Curwen and also shows the trumpets in Bb; they were shown in C originally.
