for Clarinet and Piano-It is little known that alongside his three great sonatas for Clarinet and Piano Reger also wrote two charming miniatures for the same instrumentation. At the same time it was the composer’s express desire to reach awider public with smaller works such as these that were to be published in music journals. This Henle single edition (taken from the volume of all of Reger’s sonatas and pieces HN 909 also edited by MichaelKube) meets this wish today: its effervescent Tarantella and the Albumblatt that is full of nuances provide clarinettists and pianists with an easy introduction to Max Reger’s magical world of sound.

All the important stylistic features of Klezmer music.Authentic notation.Easy to medium level of difficulty.Because the Clarinet is such an important instrument in Klezmer music these arrangements unveil the full spectrum of the Ashkenazi-Jewish music-making in one fell swoop. The eight pieces exemplify a multitude of dancing and singing styles with small ornaments and playing techniques (e.g. bent notes melismas and chromatic runs) to impart the distinctive flavour of this music. The volume offers the possibility to interpret the pieces in a variety of ways also offering scope for personal expression. The straightforward Piano partprovides bold bass lines typical harmonic progressions countermelodies and a considerable number of embellishments.From the contents: Chava Fun Tashlik Mazel Tov Odessa Bulgarish Shalom Aleichem The Happy Nigun Zol Shoyn Kumen Die G ule Tants Istanbul
