“Jeanine Rueff (1922-1999) was a French composer and music educator. Her Concertino for Clarinet and orchestral or Piano accompaniment was first published in 1950 and remains a popular, alternative piece in the advanced clarinetist's performance repertoire. Rueff wrote extensively for the Saxophone and Clarinet and her compositions are often used as required contest solos. Concertino is fast and contains complex rhythms. Other appealing musical features include chromaticism, triplet motifs and the exploitation of the entire range of the Clarinet. Rueff's Concertino provides a challenging yet riveting piece for advanced clarinetists.â€.

French composer, conductor and teacher, Jules Semler-Collery (1902-1988) was born to a musical father. He studied at the Paris Conservatoire where he won many prizes. Semler-Collery's works have been successful, with many of his concertos being included in the Conservatoire's list of compulsory works. Reverie and Scherzo for Clarinet and Piano is no exception to the composer's success. Published in 1950, Semler-Collery's Reverie is marked Andantino Cantabile and is in 6/8 meter. Both the Clarinet solo line and Piano accompaniment are virtousic, exploiting rhythm, tonality and harmony. A cadenza-like passage is heard towards the end. The Scherzo is marked Molta Leggiero and is staccato in 3/4 meter. Quaver and semiquaver passages are heard with the speed accelerating to a dramatic finale. For all advanced clarinetists, Semler-Collery's Reverie and Scherzo provides an exciting performance work for performers and audiences alike..

“Italian clarinetist and composer, Ernesto Cavallini (1807-1874) studied at the Milan Conservatory. He has been described as the â€â€œPaganini of the Clarinetâ€â€œ therefore, it is no surprise that his studies for the instrument, such as 30 Caprices are very well-informed. Volume 2 of Cavallini's 30 Caprices contains caprices 19 to 30. All of the studies are virtuosic, addressing features including chromaticism, scales, articulation, a wide range, breath control, intervals, variations in performance directions, dynamics and tempo, differing key signatures and time signatures, complex rhythms and ornamentation, amongst other aspects. For all advanced clarinetists, Cavallini's 30 Caprices are essential, ensuring technical progression to a high standard.â€.
