In 1941, I was invited by Viktor Vaszy to take on a choice double role, as a teacher of composition at the Cluj Conservatory as well as chorus master at the Cluj National Theatre. For me, this meant both an official state appointment and a substantial increase in my income. At the time I was over 35 years old and still without a permanent post. I took up my new duties at the end of the summer. My wife and I felt very much at home in Cluj but the most important for me was that along with my artistic obligations I found time to compose. Unfortunately we do not know why Farkas wrote in 1992 a new version of the Three Burlesques for clarinet quintet and for whom it was intended. The first movement Allegro, arc shaped, is more a succession of rhythmic patterns than melodies, with hectic ostinatos and staccato chords. In the middle of the movement, a short figure, like a second theme, brings a bit of calm and gentleness. The second movement, an expressive Moderato comodo and the final Allegro are shorter and also contrast with staccato chords.

Hungarian Rhapsody N° 2 is the second in a set of 19 Hungarian Rhapsodies by composer Franz Liszt, and is by far the most famous of the set. Few other piano solos have achieved such widespread popularity, offering the pianist the opportunity to reveal exceptional skill as a virtuoso while providing an immediate and irresistible musical appeal for the listener.Both the original piano solo form and the orchestrated version of this composition have found widespread use in animated cartoons. Its themes have also served as the basis of several popular songs.Composed in 1847 and dedicated to Count László Teleki, Hungarian Rhapsody N° 2 was first published as a pianosolo in 1851. Its immediate success and popularity on the concert stage soon led to an orchestrated version, arranged by the composer in collaboration with Franz Doppler. The Japanese composer Tohru Takahashi has made a splendid transcription of this great music for clarinet choir. A wonderful piece of music for an advanced ensemble! De Hongaarse rapsodie nr. 2 is verreweg de beroemdste uit een set van negentien Hongaarse rapsodieën van de hand van componist Franz Liszt. Er zijn maar weinig andere werken voor pianosolo die net zo geliefd zijn. De pianist krijgt in deze rapsodie de mogelijkheid om zijn of haar virtuositeit tentoon te spreiden en een directe, onweerstaanbare muzikale antrekkingskracht op de luisteraar uit te oefenen.Zowel de originele pianosolo als de georkestreerde versie van deze compositie is veel gebruikt in tekenfilms. De themaâ??s die erin voorkomen, hebben ook gediend als basis voor diverse populaire songs.De tweede Hongaarse rapsodie, die werd gecomponeerd in 1847 en isopgedragen aan graaf László Teleki, werd in 1851 voor het eerst uitgegeven als pianosolo, door Senff en Ricordi. Het onmiddellijke succes en de populariteit op het concertpodium leidden tot een georkestreerde versie, die de componist zelf maakte, in samenwerking met Franz Doppler.De Japanse componist Tohru Takahashi heeft deze prachtige muziek bewerkt tot een uitstekende transcriptie voor gevorderd klarinetensemble. Die Ungarische Rhapsodie Nr. 2 ist die bei weitem berühmteste der insgesamt neunzehn Ungarischen Rhapsodien von Franz Liszt und gehört zu den bekanntesten Werken für Klavier solo überhaupt. Virtuos und unwiderstehlich zieht es Zuhörer wie Interpreten gleichermaÃ?en in seinen Bann. Sowohl das originale Klaviersolo als auch die orchestrierte Version dieser Komposition werden häufig in Zeichentrickfilmen verwendet. Die darin vorkommenden Themen dienten auch schon als Basis für diverse Popsongs.Die Ungarische Rhapsodie Nr. 2 aus dem Jahr 1847 wurde 1851 zunächst als Klaviersolo veröffentlicht. Der unmittelbare Erfolg und die Popularität auf der Konzertbühne führten zueiner orchestrierten Version, die der Komponist, in Zusammenarbeit mit Franz Doppler, selbst anfertigte.Die hier vorliegende ausgezeichnete Transkription für fortgeschrittenen Klarinettenchor stammt aus der Feder des japanischen Komponisten Tohru Takahashi. La Rhapsodie hongroise n° 2 est la deuxième dâ??une série de 19 Rhapsodies hongroises de Franz Liszt.

There’s a Boat Dat’s Leavin’ Soon for New York/It Ain’t Necessarily So/Summertime/I Got Plenty o' Nuttin’ is a song from the American opera Porgy and Bess, composed in 1935 by George Gershwin (1898-1937), to a libretto by DuBose Heyward and his brother Ira Gershwin, after Heyward’s novel Porgy - a story about the love between the crippled negro beggar Porgy and the girl Bess in the city of Charleston in South Carolina. The première - not a huge success - took place on 10 October 1935 in New York.With his opera, Gershwin wanted to gain recognition as a composer of classical music. Incidentally he demanded that all parts were sung by black performers; only a few unimportant parts,without sung lyrics, were allowed to be performed by white actors. This rule still applies: Gershwin has stated in the terms of his will that only black people were allowed stage the opera.Porgy & Bess has become popular only after Gershwin’s death. In 1959 a wonderful film was made; the soundtrack won a Grammy Award. The work is not very often performed, possibly because of the difficulty of finding a whole cast of black opera singers. However, various pieces from the opera are still regularly performed in numerous arrangements. Das Set enthält Stimmen für:Klarinette in EsKlarinette in B 1, 2 ,3 & 4Altklarinette in EsBassklarinette in BKontrabassklarinette in B.

The Piano Concerto No. 24 in C Minor of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was composed in Vienna during the winter of 1785-86. It was premiered at the Vienna Burgtheatre in April 1786 only one month before the premiere of his opera The Marriage of Figaro in the same theatre. This piano concerto is one of his few works composed in a minor key, and is also the only one of the solo piano concerti he wrote to include clarinet parts. It is in three movements, (Allegro, Larghetto, Allegretto) and approximately 30 minutes in length.

Ferenc Farkas wrote about the origin of the Passacaglia: In 1931, while I was still a student by Ottorino Respighi in Rome, I began to compose a Partita in 4 movements for orchestra, whose third movement should be a Passacaglia. From this work, I only finished the Passacaglia and the Scherzo. In 1968, I took over the Passacaglia and transcribed it for organ without any modification, except the last 6 bars, I partially changed. In the shape of an arch, the work is based on a theme that is repeated thirteen times. Piano initially it evolves in crescendo to a climax in the 33rd bar, then falls gradually to a gently end. We do not know when and for whom Ferenc Farkas wrote this version for 6 clarinets of the Passacaglia.
