The fast paced rondo has a Dorian flavored melody with hints of quartel (based on an interval of a fourth) harmony to give it a contemporary sound The players are presented with solo opportunities as well as harmonic turns and twists that will keep them.
Rondo in the Nick of Time was originally the third movement for a woodwind quintet piece that I wrote in 1990. I have always been fond of this little piece and felt that it would adapt well to larger ensembles. I have also scored this piece for band as part of a suite called Upon a New Horizon.The main theme is based on the Dorian Mode. The use of quartal harmony makes up most of the harmonic material. Each statement of the theme is followed by an episode that increases in length each time. There is a sudden change of style and tempo in the middle of the piece, where fragments of the theme are developed. The title is a play-on-words, since the work contains hemiola effects that alter the feel of the time.As with all of my pieces for strings, the bowings are given only as a reference. Feel free to alter them to fit the needs of your students. I have indicated a rather fast tempo for the piece. I really like the piece to fly, but it will work and sound fine at a slower tempo as well. Just endeavor to keep their energy moving forward.It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to write this piece. I hope that you and your students enjoy it and find it useful in your program.-Larry ClarkLakeland, FL. 2005.

English-German-Hungarian.

The Scubert volume now appearing in the Leggiero series gives a varied picture of the dances of the first third of the 19th century. These include waltzes, galops, minuets, ländler, sentimental waltzes, a series of écossaises, and Wiener Deutsche. The dances, although typical, are individual in character. The range of the violin parts does not go beyond the third position or that of the cello part beyond the fourth position. The viola may be replaced by a third violin section, so the part is provided in both an alto and treble clef version. The material also includes an ad libitum double-bass part.

Der neue Schubert-Band der Reihe Leggiero bietet ein vielfältiges Bild über die Tänze im ersten Drittel des 19. Jahrhundert. Es kommen hier Walzer, Galopp, Menuett, Ländler, sentimentale Walzer, Ecossaise und Wiener Deutsche vor. Obwohl die Tänze für die Zeit typisch sind, sind siedennoch individuell. Der Tonumfang der Violinen überschreitet die 3. Lage, der des Violoncello den 4. Lage nicht. Die Bratsche kann durch eine 3. Violine ersetzt werden, deshalb wird diese Stimme sowohl mit Altschlüssel, als auch mit Violinschlüssel publiziert. Eine Kontrabass-stimme ad libitum ergänzt das Stimm-Material.
