Gabriel Grovlez (1879-1944) studied under Gabriel Fauré at the Paris Conservatoire. His compositions proved to be extremely versatile from Operas and Ballets to solo works. Grovlez's Sarabande and Allegro is a sublime addition to the Clarinet repertoire. Much of the composer's works show neo-classical features which is also the case in Sarabande and Allegro. Where the texture is predominantly melody dominated homophony perfect cadences are frequently heard and modulations to related keys occur. Grovlez's C minor Sarabande is in a steady triple meter superbly contrasted by the fast Allegro composed in the relative major. All these features make for an enjoyable and delightful performance!

Novelty of form selected modulations strange tone colours the use of completely unexpected rhythms' this is how Camille Saint-Saëns praised the debut work of a young colleague and continued: 'Above everything is a charm that surrounds the whole work and makes the mass of average listeners accept the most surprising audacities as something entirely natural.The First Violin Sonata by Gabriel Fauré (1845 1924) was indeed an extraordinary composition which at the same time opened the way for the oeuvre of one of the most important French composers in the late 19th century and early 20th century: It was particularly with songs and Pianomusic that he could win the heart of the audience. In the 1870s Fauré wrote three songs which were originally not meant to be a unity but were later assembled under Opus Number 7. The first song is 'Après un rêve' a romantic rapturous song which like a 'Song Without Words' by Mendelssohn is perfect for making music with an accompanied solo instrument.

André Messager (1853-1929) composed Solo De Concours for Clarinet in 1899 as a Paris Conservatoire Contest piece. Composed in three sections the cheerful first part contains triplet figures by the Clarinet that can easily be heard over the Orchestra. The second part has a strong French melody that can be heard as an exchange between the Clarinet and the Orchestra. A cadenza followed by trills ends this section and leads to the final part where the Clarinet stands out from the Orchestra with a rich melodic energy. André Messager is a previous student of Gabriel Fauré and CamilleSaint-Saëns who wrote numerous operas operettas and ballets. He was later appointed Commander of the Legion d’Honneur.
