Grand Rag is part of a project in which 67 composers each composed a piece for solo musicians of ANAM (Australian National Academy of Music) in 2021. Elena Kats-Chernin wrote her piece in close collaboration with clarinettist Oliver Crofts for his creative and virtuoso skills. As in many of her ragtimes, the composer is interested in powerful expression and working with a limited tonal material. The clarinet part alternates between low and high registers in various sections. The piano is an equal partner, with clusters and clashing rhythms, pedal points as well as an unusual trill fantasy.

“Musique française” is a series designed for students and teachers as well as professionals. These editions offer masterworks in French music, with performance suggestions and historical and stylistic commentary by noted scholars. Pierre Sancan wrote the Sonatine pour clarinette et piano in 1963. A renowned composer, he first of all made his mark as a pianist and outstanding teacher. This piece, short and concise in form, is made up of three brief, linked movements. It is perfectly calibrated as a Conservatoire graduation piece. It invites clarinettists to display all their technical, musical and tonal abilities in a small-scale work.
