Born in Mexico City, Víctor Báez's works have been performed in concerts and premieres in several cities in North and South America and Europe, such as Klangspuren Schwaz, Komponisten Marathon Vienna and the International Forum for New Music in Mexico City. His work is broadcasted regularly by the Mexican and Austrian radio. Prizes and awards include 3 consecutive yearly composition grants from the Austrian Ministry of Arts, Culture and Education, a START Grant for New Young Artists, and the Fulbright Scholarship for his oncoming doctoral studies, starting in the Fall of 2014 in New York City. This composition was written for bass clarinet soloist Sarah Watts, who did extensive research on bass clarinet multiphonics. This piece is a great illustration on the integration of multiphonics in contemporary music.

Composer, pianist and conductor Kirmo Lintinen is equally at home in jazz as in the world of classical music. Since the turn of the millennium, his main job has specifically been composing concert music. Stylistically, he has found his biggest inspiration in the Baroque and in early 20th-century Neoclassicism. He composed Rieha (Frolic) as a commission from the Crusell Music Festival in Uusikaupunki, Finland, as the obligatory piece for its international clarinet competition, and it was premiered by the semi-finalists in July 2009.
The first part of Rieha is dominated by spurting arpeggios, trills and changing tempos. Following this impulsive opening is a brief respite, after which the piano and clarinet begin competing, tossing each other quick, accented semiquaver figures. The rhythm soon becomes syncopated and the piece enters the longest section, a sort of hypertuned, lurching ragtime. The closing section recalls all the work's motifs before burning itself out and vanishing like smoke.
Rieha is a consummate virtuoso piece demanding nimble fingers, sharp articulation and a command of tone in all the clarinet's registers. The piano is more than just an accompanying instrument; it is an equal partner. The biggest challenge for the players is synchronising their parts: the changing tempos and metres, and the alternation of quick figures keep the performers on their toes and the audience alert.

'The two volumes of I Learn to Play the Clarinet (Z.12282 and Z.13291) have been written for beginners and contain the material for the first 3-4 years. It has been avoided to arrange the material according to yearly divisions for several reasons. On one hand the rate of progress depends on the pupil's aptness, diligence, age and musical pre-education, so a strictly handled curriculum could be either too small or too great a task for the pupil. On the other hand by using this method it may be easier achieved that quality replace quantity.' (Béla Kovács).
