Well after listening to all three parts/movements, I have to say: this is one very well composed piece. Fine work Qccowboy.

From my experience as a clarinetist, there are few comments I'd like to share, all in my humble opinion:

-First off, this is a very enjoyable artistic piece. I could easily see this as a nice portion of a program.

-You also made good use of the all the registers of the clarinet, from the bright altissimo to the mellow chalemeau. I love the ethereal feeling that you are able to evoke in the first part by using the different registers.

-All the trills and runs I felt were fitting/appropriate (I'll have to see the score to assess just how many fingers could be broken from them, though).

I can't really comment much about the theory behind the piece, so all I can do is give you praise

Can't wait to see a score.

I also (and it might just be me) picked up a bit of a French influence. Maybe a bit of Poulenc/Bozza...?
