| American Rhapsody About a week ago, I suggested to Phil Rose, that he compose a work for clarinet ala Copelands Clarinet concerto....Phil, in a few short days, composed this contemporary work that is worthy of performance by a major symphony....Phil has captured the feel of early America, complete with a picturesque feel of the American city....the plains of the mid west...the blusy speak-easys of Chicago and New Orleans, ending with a tribute to the Old West, complete with a Gershwinesque finale.....and all in a matter of days....please listen to Philippe Roses AMERICAN RHAPSODY.....he deserves your praise and accolades....I had a ball playing this piece.Performer : LEONARD, ANDERSON |
