for Solo Clarinet and Clarinet Choir. Par WEBER CARL MARIA VON. The Concertino of Carl Maria von Weber was originally composed in Spring 1811 over the course of three days for German clarinet virtuoso Heinrich Joseph Baermann. It was a particularly productive year for Weber, as he also composed the two concertos for clarinet, a bassoon concerto, and the clarinet quintet, among other pieces. A tour with Baermann from December 1811 through March 1812 performing these clarinet works was a turning point in Weber?s career, after which his music gained popularity and was more universally accepted. / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Clarinettes

Sonatina by Eugène Bozza is a piece for four unequal Clarinets (an E flat Clarinet two B flat and a Bb Bass Clarinet). Strongly lyrical this piece which lasts approximatively 7'50 minutes is very interesting and quite challenging to play. It explores the full high and low of the instruments and requires some good ability of breathing and strong agility. It is divided into three main parts which are: I. Allegro vivo II. Calme (Quiet) and III. Allegro Vivo. While the first and third sections are very cheerful and energetic the second part is slower and more reflective. Eugène Bozza won differentprizes at the Conservatoire de Paris such as the First Prizes for the Violin conducting and composition as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He composed several operas chamber works and ballets among others.
