Rondo for Clarinet and Piano

Recommended Posts

I have submitted this before, but I have made several revisions and the previous post did not receive many responses, so I thought I would make a new thread. The piece is in a sort of Rondo form, although I don't think it is the classical ideal of what a rondo is-IE ABACABA. It is just ABACA. Let me know what you think!

This has some creative use of triplets and duplets.  I am not sure about whether you actually succeeded in writing a rondo form or not.  I wouldn't necessarily focus on writing a specific form from the outset - just let the music guide you and do what feels right.  I just noticed that there were contrasting sections of music.  I only have this nitpick about your piece:  use the very highest range of the clarinet sparingly because it can be very shrill and piercing.  Besides that I enjoyed listening to this.

That's a very nice duet in classic style, congratulations!

I like how you use the full range of Clarinet over 3 octaves, I aggre though that the high G feels like a bit too high and it's going to sound really piercing, but if that's the sound you are looking for then nothing to say...I don't know how difficult it's technically for a clarinetist to play in that extreme high register.
