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.

For Clarinet Choir-Rikudim (de l?hébreu rikud ?danse?) est une suite de quatre danses originales inspirées de la musique traditionnelle juive. L?utilisation d?une structure tonale orientale l?introduction de mesures irrégulières et la richesse sonore de l?orchestration apportent à cette œuvre une teinte mélancolique mais surtout une grande authenticité. Les thèmes très inspirés sont clairement différenciés. L?harmonisation quelquefois surprenante sans jamais être dénaturée confère à ces quatre danses originales juives une grande richesse d?expression.
