Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. 'Après mon travail de retranscription pour le cor de basset, j’ai décidé de faire une version pour clarinette. Celle-ci peut bien sûr se jouer à la clarinette basse ! Cette transcription a été faite d’après le manuscrit original, ma source étant la version copiée par Anna Magdalena Bach. Les nuances et articulations proposées sont fidèles au manuscrit, autant que possible. Je n’en ai ajouté aucune, afin de donner toute la liberté nécessaire à l’interprétation de cette musique si riche. Les articulations du manuscrit guident les violonistes dans le choix des coups d’archet, à vous de vous en inspirer ou de les modifier à votre guise. Les double-cordes, de même que les accords (joués ‘en arpèges’ par les violonistes), sont reproduites avec des notes en appoggiature ou en arpèges. Je suis conscient que, pour la plupart des clarinettistes, le fait de jouer sur une partition exempte d’indication de tempi, nuances, articulations, respirations, est quelque peu déroutant. C’est justement, selon moi, toute la richesse de cette version proche de l’original. Vous pourrez explorer cette œuvre fabuleuse, affiner votre technique de jeu (certains passages sont particulièrement difficiles) et développer votre propre interprétation. Je vous encourage à écouter des violoncellistes virtuoses interpréter ces fantastiques pièces, vous trouverez l’inspiration et quantité d’idées. J’espère que vous prendrez autant de plaisir que moi à les jouer !' Frédéric Matagne Collection Anachronismes/ Répertoire / Clarinette Basse

With 'Clarinet Fundamentals', Reiner Wehle presents a three-part basic work for studying the clarinet. Volume 2 is a comprehensive fingering method which takes the characteristics of the clarinet-specific fingering technique into account. The successful mastery of the fingering technique and the training of every possible fingering combination are a prerequisite for dexterity and virtuoso playing. Therefore, the volume contains a large number of exercises covering all fingering problems in great detail for the Boehm and Oehler system. Reiner Wehle frequently teaches at master classes, is a sought-after juror at renowned competitions and has been professor at the Music Academy of Lübeck since 1993.

Par AUVINEN ANTTI. Antti Auvinen's Karkija for bass clarinet and marimba was a commission of Duo Xylokosmos. The work was premiered on 22 November 2007 by Ingolfur Vilhjalmsson (bass clarinet) and Tobias Kuttman (marimba) in Neumarkt, Austria. This product includes one performance score (B4 sized loose pages) in a folder. In the music of Antti Auvinen (b. 1974), a modernist compositional language is fused with a powerful sense of drama and a charged intensity generated through the explosive clash of conflicting tensions. Auvinen?s soundworld is multifaceted and employs unusual combinations of instruments and a wide variety of modern, often rough and noisy extended techniques. His rich and expressive use of rhythms extends from the meditative stasis of freely notated fields to the edgy, insistent energy of multiple superimposed rhythmic layers. / Date parution : 2022-12-12/ Répertoire / Clarinette Basse et Marimba

Par WEISSENBORN JULIUS. German bassoonist and pedagogue Julius Weissenborn is known primarily as an author and composer of method and etude books familiar to all bassoonists. However, he also composed a number of solo works, including a collection of pieces in his Opus 9, for bassoon and piano. The first two works of this opus, Arioso and Humoreske, pair so well together that they are often performed together as a single piece, something slow and lyrical, followed by something quicker and technical. And it just so turns out that with a relatively simple transposition, they are perfectly suited for the bass clarinet. In this edition, for each movement, the piano part has been transposed down a whole-stepto better accommodate the bass clarinet.

for Solo Bass Clarinet-Eos commissioned Nyman to write a score for the 10-minute silent film Manhatta a Jazz Age piece lacing together images of inter-way Manhattan with the (projected) words of WaltWhitman. Originally scored for large ensemble this piece is for solo Bass Clarinet.

Sonata for Bass Clarinet and Piano was commissioned by virtuoso former Houston Symphony clarinetist Richard Nunemaker, and takes full advantage of his prodigious technique and the instrument's extraordinary range. Although the sonata is traditional in its structure - with three movements whose tempi are ordered as fast, slow, fast - it is highly original in its musical content.
The first movement draws upon two rather disparate sources for its material - Dizzy Gillespie's bebop standard Salt Peanut , and Frank Zappa's art-rock masterpiece Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbeque , hence the title, Salt Peanut Memorial Barbeque. The second movement uses a technique much, much older, that of the isorhythmic motet. The piano accompaniment has a talea of five rhythmic events serving a color of four pitch events. The clarinet cantillates a monody against this that is comprised primarily of the pitches not displayed in the accompaniment; hence the title Motet - Ancient Incantations. The third movement is a bebob and boogie-woogie tour-de-force for the two instruments, at once paying homage to Eric Dolphy and to one of the great songs of his era, Green Dolphin Street , and hence the title, Green Dolphy Street Boogie. / Partitions classique / Bois / Clarinette / ALEA PUBLISHING

Interlude I From The Opera Alice In Wonderland-This is a highly illustrative piece of programme music referring to Chapter V of Lewis Carroll?s Alice?s Adventures in Wonderland.By playing the Bass Clarinet the caterpillar ?speaks? his lines the performer is therefore encouraged to use their full imagination with regards to articulation agogics and gestures. Exaggeration and theatrical expression are by no means to be avoided on the contrary they are expected!Ideally the dialogue between Alice and the Caterpillar ? which appears throughout this score ? should be projected onto a screen. German and French translations of this text are included.
