I wrote this (and another couple of pieces) for my
friend Harry after he got his grade 8 clarinet with
distinction. He told me that the trills I chose are
quite awkward on a clarinet but he played them
perfectly and we had great fun playing this and other
clarinet pieces I wrote for him!
Composed 1986 (when I was 22) but I rewrote the piano
part (which I thought was too heavy) to the version
here in 1994.
