Six easy pieces. Par MULLER IVAN. Ivan Müller was born in Reval in Russia (now Tallinin, Estonia) on 3 December 1786 and died in Bückeburg (Germany) in 1854. In 1808/09 he performed widely as a clarinet virtuoso - in Berlin, Leipzig, Wien, Paris and many other places where he also presented the new ?clarinette omnitonique? in B flat which he had invented. The system of keys in use in Germany to this day is based on Müllers invention. As a composer Müller was an exponent of the early Romantic style and wrote numerous concertos for his chosen instrument as well as this Serenade for Clarinet and Piano (or Harp or Guitar). The editor Dieter Klöcker writes: ?These rather beautiful and accessible Romantic miniatures enjoyed great popularity in their day and I assume that even today they will meet with the approval of professional and amateur players alike.? / Niveau : facile - moyen / Date parution : 2023-05-06/ Répertoire / Clarinette et Piano

To every pupil, the first concert is a special experience. The period of intensive preparation, the mixture of trepidation and joyful anticipation, the concentration during the performance, the applause of the audience and the pride after the successful performance. Such impressions will all stick in the pupil's mind and quite often influence his or her entire future development. The choice of the 'right' performance piece is of vital importance: It should be neither too long nor too short, make a strong impression and give great pleasure in practising.The edition Mein erstes Konzert contains 23 easy pieces for clarinet and piano for music lessons and first auditions. The selection of the original works invites the performer on a trip through various music epochs - starting from classical via Romantic to contemporary music. Further highlights are pieces from the areas of klezmer, jazz, rock and pop music.Most pieces can be played after 1-2 years of music lessons. The first pieces in this volume are exclusively written in the low register - without overblowing.Approaching the works is made easier by the enclosed CD which contains all pieces as a demo version and as a play-along version with just piano accompaniment. / Clarinette Et Piano

Opus 6-The Swedish composer Bernhard Henrik Crusell was long viewed as an insider tip among clarinettists; in the meantime his concertos have found their way to the concert stage. This is hardly surprising considering theenchanting music with which Crusell himself a Clarinet virtuoso of international rank has enriched the early romantic repertoire.Crusell’s works needn’t shy from a comparison with Weber’s and Spohr’sClarinet output. This Henle Urtext edition of the F-Minor Concerto marks the beginning of a new publication series of all three Clarinet concertos by Crusell which has been entrusted to the editor andclarinettist Nicolai Pfeffer. Since he combines editorial experience with many years of performance practice the works are in the best possible hands.

Fantasy Piece in G Minor-Carl Nielsen's Fantasy Piece In G Minor for Clarinet in Bb and Piano. Henle Urtext edition score.One of Nielsen's early works Fantasy Piece In G Minor was writtenbetween the ages of 16 and 18 while he was a member of the military band in the Danish town of Odense. With this miniature he gave proof of his mature compositional talent on the one hand and of the socialisation through themusic of the classic and early romantic eras on the other.With its skilful interconnection of Italianate cantabilit and brilliant suppleness the two-part Fantasy Piece offers a welcome change in theClarinet repertoire. This edition is based on the sole surviving source long considered a copy in Copenhagen’s Royal Library which has since been ascertainably identified as an autograph manuscript.

A romantic serenade meant to be performed at night under the stars with the clarinet as the main singer. Two of the four movements are in the Brazilian ch?ro style. The composer writes: performers may add their own bends portamenti wide vibratos and any other jazz effects that will enhance the expressivity of the melodic line.

Novelty of form selected modulations strange tone colours the use of completely unexpected rhythms' this is how Camille Saint-Saëns praised the debut work of a young colleague and continued: 'Above everything is a charm that surrounds the whole work and makes the mass of average listeners accept the most surprising audacities as something entirely natural.The First Violin Sonata by Gabriel Fauré (1845 1924) was indeed an extraordinary composition which at the same time opened the way for the oeuvre of one of the most important French composers in the late 19th century and early 20th century: It was particularly with songs and Pianomusic that he could win the heart of the audience. In the 1870s Fauré wrote three songs which were originally not meant to be a unity but were later assembled under Opus Number 7. The first song is 'Après un rêve' a romantic rapturous song which like a 'Song Without Words' by Mendelssohn is perfect for making music with an accompanied solo instrument.

Terence ?Terry? Greaves (1933-2009) was a British composer music teacher and examiner. He was a chorister at Welbeck Abbey in Nottinghamshire and read Music at Keble College Oxford before becoming a lecturer at theBirmingham School of Music and later Dean at the Royal Manchester College of Music. He was also a dedicated examiner and moderator for the ABRSM for over 40 years writing many works as examination pieces. ClarinetValsante is a romantic waltz for Clarinet and Piano. First published in 1989 it is suitable for intermediate players and makes the ideal piece for any concert or recital.

An important work for Clarinet with Piano accompaniment from Brahms' rich-textured romantic repertoire. A heavier moodier piece than the opening movement of the Opus 120 but they compliment each other magnificently.

Schubert for clarinet Together with Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert is considered to be the founder of romantic music in German-speaking countries. He mainly owes this reputation to the composition of more than 600 songs, many of which, even today, are an integral part of every singers repertoire. For this album James Rae has selected some of Schuberts most beautiful melodies from both his vocal and instrumental works and arranged them for clarinet. Its expressive sound, coupled with Schuberts unique melodies, is a homage to the great composer and should enrich every clarinet players repertoire.

Barenreiter Urtext Edition of Brahms' Sonatas In F Minor And E-Flat Op.120 for Clarinet and Piano.Features:A pioneering Urtext edition with an extensive Performance Practice CommentaryFor further information on Romantic performance practice we recommend the text booklet: ?Performance Practices in Johannes Brahms? Chamber Music? BA 9600Brahms had already announced his 'retirement' from composition when in the spring of 1894 he played chamber music with the cellist Robert Hausmann and the clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld. This encounter renewed Brahms' enthusiasm for Mühlfeld?s muchadmired playing and inspired him to write two new Clarinet sonatas in the summer of the same year. Brahms and Mühlfeld premiered the works and played them in several performances until the Sonatas Op.120 were first published in June 1895. These two works remain pivotal in the Clarinet?s recital repertoire establishing the Clarinet sonata as a distinct and viable chamber music genre.This edition features an extensive preface that informs about the sonatas? origins their compositional process pre-publication performances and their publication history as well as their early reception. Another truly remarkable aspect of this publication is the unique Performance Practice Commentary. Here the editors start from the premise that only a few decades after Brahms' death a widening gulf was already developing between the composer's expectations and the performance practices of the early 20th century. On the basis of manifold sources which include memoirs by pupils and chamber music partners treatises and essays early instructive editions and historical recordings the editors deal with key issues in understanding Brahms' notation. The editors provide an indispensable assistance for a historically informed interpretation of the work through a section-by-section analysis of rhythm and timing dynamics and accentuation dots and strokes slurring and non legato Piano pedalling and overholding Piano arpeggiation and dislocation Clarinet vibrato and portamento. At the same time the edition offers an exciting and often surprising

clarinet part in B flat-Along with Robert Schumann?s identically titled op. 73 the Fantasiestücke of 1864 by the Danish composer Niels Wilhelm Gade are an essential part of the repertoire of all clarinettists. Gade lived in Leipzig for a long time andhad been among Schumann?s close friends. With this deeply romantic composition he made an important contribution to establishing the clarinet as a chamber-music soloist. The four pieces in this collection can of course beperformed separately and are ideal teaching material. Our editor the clarinettist Nicolai Pfeffer has drawn upon the German and Danish first editions and the autograph in Copenhagen as sources and consequently has been able toeliminate several discrepancies found in older editions.
