Concertino No. 1 in F major for cello and piano. In The Platinum Series this excellent piece has been published in an edition for clarinet. On the CD that comes with the book you will first hear the piano accompaniment alone, followed by the demo version with both clarinet and piano. It is of course more instructive and enjoyable to play with a live accompanist if you can, using the piano part that is also included. This piece is a great addition to the clarinet repertoire!

Een van de bekendste werken van Jean-Baptiste Breval is het Concertino No. 1 in F major voor cello en piano. Dit is voor The Platinum Series speciaal voor de klarinet bewerkt. Op de fantastische cd zijn eerst de pianobegeleidingente horen en vervolgens de schitterende demoversies - met klarinet en een live ingespeelde piano. Natuurlijk is het nog leerzamer en aangenamer om echt samen met een pianist te musiceren. Een aanwinst voor het klarinetrepetoire!

These Sonatas were written as part of Jean-Xavier Lefèvre’s Méthode for the Clarinet. They are great stepping stones to the more difficult clarinet master works by Mozart and Weber and are also invaluable first pieces for those studying period performance on the classical clarinet. They retain Lefèvre’s original notation for clarinet and the bass lines are transposed down a tone so the Sonatas are playable on the B flat clarinet. The right hand of the piano parts have been realised from a single unfigured bass line probably intended for the cello. The piano parts are designed to be stylistic, complementary to the clarinet line, satisfying to play and occasionally challenging.

Jean-Xavier Lefèvre’s Clarinet Method, published at the beginning of the 19th century, contains a number of sonatas that are significant stepping-stones to the more difficult clarinet master works of Mozart and Weber. They are also invaluable first pieces for those studying period performance on the classical clarinet. Lefèvre’s original notation for the instrument has been retained, and the bass lines are transposed down a tone so that the sonatas are playable on the B flat clarinet. The piano accompaniments, whose right-hand parts have been realized from a single, unfigured bass line probably intended for the cello, are stylistic, always complementary to the clarinet line, and satisfying (if occasionally challenging) to play.
