Par CRUSELL BERNHARD HENRIK. Bernhard Henrik Crusell's Duo No. 2 In C for 2 Clarinets, as edited by Jost Michaels./ Répertoire / 2 Clarinettes

From '44 Duos For Two Violins'. Par BARTOK BELA. Béla Bartók (1881-1945) composed his 44 Duos for Two Violins in 1931. These unique musical miniatures combine folk melodies from Eastern Europe with the musical language of the twentieth century in an exciting blend of tradition and modernity. For the present edition Marcin Langer arranged twenty of these duos for Bb clarinets. The pieces allow players to share the pleasure of chamber music while exploring this fascinating sound world. All the duos sound at the original pitch and can thus be performed by a clarinet and violin. Most of the duets can also be played by a clarinet and alto saxophone combination (nos. 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 16, 17). In such cases, the relevant duos from the edition for two violins (UE 10452A and UE 10452B) or for two alto saxophones (UE36991) should be used./ Répertoire / 2 Clarinettes

Par STADLER. Anton Stadler (1753-1812) was a renowned clarinettist and was the inspiration for both of Mozart's compositions for clarinet - the Quintet in A K. 581 and the Concerto in A K. 623 - which are considered to be two of the greatest works in the repertoire for the instrument. It is for this reason that particular interest is drawn to the writing for clarinet by Anton Stadler himself. Duo In F is an arrangement, by Jost Michaels, of the 5th and 6th duets from Stadler's Duettinos Progressives. Michaels has arranged four of the movements from these two duets (two from each) in such a way that, the order in which they now stand brings out the freshness ofthe melodies and the particular use of the technique of the 2 clarinets to their utmost./ Répertoire / 2 Clarinettes

2 Clarinets and Bass Clarinet. Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. / Répertoire / 2 Clarinettes en Sib et Clarinette Basse

'Récréation? and 'divertissement? - relaxation and entertainment: those were the popular catchwords applied in the 19th century to arrangements of well-known and much loved pieces. They allowed larger scored compositions to find their way into the parlour or music lessons. The 26 duets in this volume are mostly taken from 19th century tutors, though some have also been prepared by the editor. They include popular melodies by Mozart, Haydn, Gluck, Weber, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Schumann and Chopin. These moderately difficult duets are suitable for ambitious beginners. The second part is generally played by the teacher. / 2 Clarinettes
