An Album For Clarinet In Bb and Piano-'This album was inspired by the wedding of our daughter Tess.' The Wagner and Mendelssohn are of course popular at weddings and the slow movement of the Mozart concerto creates a beautiful ambience.My own piece 'Wedding Bells' conveys a celebratory loving and joyous atmosphere and 'on the big day' I played it during the signing of the register accompanied by the father of the bride - it was an emotional performance!These arrangements are intended to catch the mood: purists please forgive me - Wagner Mozart and Mendelssohn may not have written every note here but I hope that they would approve.

This nocturne was one of a set of six composed for the second wedding of the Duke of Nassau which were published simultaneously as sets of duos or solo pieces for Violin Cello clarinet or concertina with harp or Pianoaccompaniment. Charles Oberthür was a celebrated harpist during his long career in the 1800?s most of which he spent in Britain. Besides being a distinguished instrumentalist Oberthür was a prolific composer creating morethan two hundred works.
