clarinet in e flat major op 36 movement 1

“There is no repertoire whatever for piano and E-flat clarinet - at least to my knowledge,” Blackwood writes in the CD booklet.īest-known for his somber, sprawling organ works, Max Reger reveals surprisingly witty and tender sides to his musical personality in the Sonata No. 38 explores the uncharted lyrical side of an instrument usually relegated to humorous or grotesque effects in large orchestral works. His festive Sonatina in F major for Piccolo Clarinet, Op. His richly melodic, high-stepping Sonata in A minor for Clarinet and Piano moves with a ballet-like rhythmic verve.

Most clarinet and piano works by major composers are for the B-flat clarinet, so Blackwood took a different tack by writing for the Clarinet in A and the E-flat piccolo clarinet. “Blackwood has perfect understanding of what the instrument does well and how to make the best of it.” “These are pieces worth playing, worth mastering,” Yeh says. Both Blackwood works were written for John Bruce Yeh, assistant principal clarinetist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, who performs on the album with Blackwood. Composer and pianist Easley Blackwood expands the repertoire with two accessible yet substantial works written in 1994 and receiving their recording debuts on this CD.
