Hello there,
Seconding the already mentioned, scores are extremely useful.
As the pianist, I would have expected you to write a better part for yourself than just chords and filler complementing the clarinet =]
But it is a very flowing and elegant melody. Your clarinetist should be able to pull and push that enough to make it sound very beautiful.
Why do you end it in the minor key? That kind of makes me sad. Is it the musical representation of the emmigration? It should be happy, looking back with nostalgia on all the times in the past.
And the last chord at the end. Since it is a nostalgic piece, it should trail out on the second to last tonic chord. No need to cadence with a Shosti-like bang.
Good piece! Your friend will be thrilled.
Cheers,
Brian
