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. 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 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.

The Andante opening Sonata 3, in D minor, demonstrates Balicourt’s mastery of a an entirely natural lyricism that is elegant without ever becoming bland. The vivacious Allegro that follows has an endearing playfulness reminiscent of Vivaldi. The third movement, Andante, moves to F major and is noteworthy for some delightful imitative play between flute and bass. A sprightly Minuetto brings up the rear. Sonata 4, in A minor, opens with a Largo of an almost Handelian gravitas. It is followed by a fleet-footed Allegro that at several points contains figurations derived from violinistic style as exemplified by Vivaldi. For the concluding movement, a graceful Affettuoso, Balicourt switches to A major, a way of lightening the mood that in 1750 was not yet common but very soon was to become a favoured practice in minor-key works.
