A must-have for Clarinet. This Sonata in 4 movements comes from a group of 3 Sonatas for wind instruments (oboe, clarinet and bassoon) composed in May and june 1921. They are the last in the catalogue of Saint-Saens' works. There is a mysterious anguish which floats throughout this brillant fourth movement. The agitation and feverishness of your playing should reflect this latent anguish. At the conclusion, which refers to the first movement, avoid accenting the quaver in the Barcarolle rhythm which risks making the phrasing too heavy.This series proposes the very best of classical pieces for clarinet, revised by great teachers and concertists, at reduced price.

A must-have for Clarinet. This Sonata in 4 movements comes from a group of 3 Sonatas for wind instruments (oboe, clarinet and bassoon) composed in May and june 1921. They are the last in the catalogue of Saint-Saens' works. In this second movement of the sonata, the articulations should be carefully pronounced to remain clear and intelligible in spite of the tempo. Use a light homogeneous staccato across the whole range and don't force the sound when the dynamics are loud; you will achieve like that an ample sound which is well balanced with the piano.This series proposes the very best of classical pieces for clarinet, revised by great teachers and concertists, at reduced price.

A must-have for Clarinet. This Sonata in 4 movements comes from a group of 3 Sonatas for wind instruments (oboe, clarinet and bassoon) composed in May and june 1921. They are the last in the catalogue of Saint-Saens' works. In this third movement, you should contrast the registers as if they are separate instruments responding to each other. Your bass quasi funebre should be ample and sonorous, though without acidity, whilst for your treble you should look for a very gentle flute sound, distant and without vibrato.This series proposes the very best of classical pieces for clarinet, revised by great teachers and concertists, at reduced price.

This sonata is composed for Orff instrumentarium with the intention of offering the sonata form in a lively way.The allegro follows the classical sonata form: an exposition of the two themes, a development with the technic of question-answer and a re-exposition rich in instrumental colours.The andante, a minuet of quiet and elegant character, contrasts the more flowing and bright trio.The vivace, in rondo form, offers a symmetry between the merry refrain, coming again four times, and the verses.

Sonata 5, in A major, is the only work in the set to feature the ‘classic’ three-movement design in its symmetrical Fast–Slow–Fast configuration. Its opening Vivace makes considerable demands on the flautist’s technique, and the accompanist, too, has some lively interventions. A short Andante, in A minor, recaptures the style of the slow movement of an operatic sinfonia. High spirits return in the concluding Allegro comodo, which manages to be frothy and substantial at the same time. Sonata 6 is in G minor, traditionally a key for serious utterances. Its muscular opening Largo packs in a wealth of interesting rhythmic designs and articulations for the flautist. The influence of violinistic style is clearly seen in the Allegro that follows. The finale is composite: its ‘frame’ is an Affettuoso in minuet rhythm, but its ‘core’ is a Poco Allegro in G major with the character of a second minuet. Despite its outward charm, this movement retains much of the heft of the first two movements.

Many people know E.T.A Hoffmann (1776-1822) only as an author, but he composed many works as well. These sonatas are lovely intermediate level pieces.
