Sonatina in A for Clarinet and Piano


J. Lee Graham

Recommended Posts

Movements:  

1.  Allegro moderato (Sonata form)

2.  Berceuse - Andante (Binary form - ABA)

3.  Rondo - Allegretto (Rondo form - ABACABA)

A little sonatina I wrote featuring the clarinet - that is, clarinet in A, as one might surmise.  I'd not have composed a piece in A major for B-flat clarinet...that would be cruel.  😉

I'm not sure where the impetus came from to compose this piece.  I just got an idea, and went with it.  I began composing this toward the end of 2017, set it aside for a while, then completed it this evening.  

Not much more to say about it than that.  It's rather short, as one might expect, and the music will speak for itself.  Hope you enjoy it!

Like all your pieces, this is brilliant!

I love the way you handle the relationship between the clarinet and piano. 

One of the things that I really love is how you appreciate the fact that the wind player needs to breathe, and your music's natural phrasing fits this requirement perfectly.

Now, I only wish I was a clarinetist! Great job :thumbsup:
