Explori
ng mature harmonies while
a single note lingers
throughout the entire
work, this powerful piece
will leave you
breathless. Orchestrated
for strings and piano,
the music moves through a
series of sections that
become increasingly
intense, all while the
note G sounds nonstop
from the first measure
until the final chord.
The haunting sound of
voices (members of the
ensemble) eventually fade
into a soft hum before
the music reaches is
final chord and ultimate
resolution. Simply
stunning.

Characte
r was composed to
introduce young string
players to contemporary
harmonic techniques while
still being within the
technical limitations of
the developing student.
Quartal and quintal
harmonies open the
composition with a
fanfare gesture that ties
the piece together. This
is followed by an
ostinato in the first
violins that contains a
tricky figuration between
G and A that will work
the pinky finger on the
D-string. Players who are
not capable of
maneuvering their pinky
at this brisk tempo
should play the lower
part. The main theme is
given to the inner voice
for a change! After the
main theme there is a
development section that
combines fragments of the
fanfare material with
fragments of the main
theme. A grand pause and
then a stronger statement
of the main theme then
follow this with the
first violins up an
octave. The piece is then
completed with a short
coda containing fragments
of the ostinato and
fanfare material. It
feels natural for the
tempo to speed up
slightly at this point in
the piece. As with all of
my pieces at this level,
the tempo is merely a
suggestion and should be
adjusted slower or faster
to fit the needs of your
students and the
performance situation. It
has been my pleasure to
have the opportunity to
write this piece. I hope
you and your students
enjoy it and find it
useful for your program.

IApart from
some of his Sonatinas,
Opus 36, Clementi's life
and music are hardly
known to the piano
teachers and students of
today. For example, in
addition to the above
mentioned Sonatinas,
Clementi wrote sixty
sonatas for the piano,
many of them unjustly
neglected, although his
friend Beethoven regarded
some of them very highly.
Clementi also wrote
symphonies (some of which
he arranged as piano
sonatas), a substantial
number of waltzes and
other dances for the
piano as well as sonatas
and sonatinas for piano
four-hands.In addition to
composing, Clementi was a
much sought after piano
teacher, and included
among his students John
Field (Father of the
'Nocturne'), and
Meyerbeer.In his later
years, Clementi became a
very successful music
publisher, publishing
among other works the
first English edition of
Beethoven's Violin
Concerto, in the great
composer's own
arrangement for the
piano, as well as some of
his string quartets.
Clementi was also one of
the first English piano
manufacturers to make
pianos with a metal frame
and string them with
wire.The Sonatina in C,
Opus 36, No. 1 was one of
six such works Clementi
wrote in 1797. He must
have been partial to
these little pieces (for
which he also provided
the fingerings), since
they were reissued
(without the fingering)
by the composer shortly
after 1801. About 1820,
he issued ''the sixth
edition, with
considerable improvements
by the author;· with
fingerings added and
several minor changes,
among which were that
many of them were written
an octave higher.IIIt has
often been said,
generally by those
unhampered by the facts,
that composers of the
past (and, dare we add,
the present?), usually
handled their financial
affairs with their public
and publishers with a
poor sense of business
acumen or common sense.
As a result they
frequently found
themselves in financial
straits.Contrary to
popular opinion, this was
the exception rather than
the rule. With the
exception of Mozart and
perhaps a few other
composers, the majority
of composers then, as
now, were quite
successful in their
dealings with the public
and their publishers, as
the following examples
will show.It was not
unusual for 18th- and
19th-century composers to
arrange some of their
more popular compositions
for different
combinations of
instruments in order to
increase their
availability to a larger
music-playing public.
Telemann, in the
introduction to his
seventy-two cantatas for
solo voice and one melody
instrument (flute, oboe
or violin, with the usual
continua) Der Harmonische
Gottesdienst, tor
example, suggests that if
a singer is not available
to perform a cantata the
voice part could be
played by another
instrument. And in the
introduction to his Six
Concertos and Six Suites
for flute, violin and
continua, he named four
different instrumental
combinations that could
perform these pieces, and
actually wrote out the
notes for the different
possibilities. Bach
arranged his violin
concertos for keyboard,
and Beethoven not only
arranged his Piano Sonata
in E Major, Opus 14, No.
1 for string quartet, he
also transposed it to the
key of F. Brahm's
well-known Quintet in F
Minor for piano and
strings was his own
arrangement of his
earlier sonata for two
pianos, also in F
Minor.IIIWe come now to
Clementi. It is well
known that some of his
sixty piano sonatas were
his own arrangements of
some of his lost
symphonies, and that some
of his rondos for piano
four-hands were
originally the last
movements of his solo
sonatas or piano trios.In
order to make the first
movement of his
delightful Sonatina in C,
Opus 36, No. 1 accessible
to young string players,
I have followed the
example established by
the composer himself by
arranging and transposing
one of his piano
compositions from one
medium (the piano) to
another. (string
instruments). In order to
simplify the work for
young string players, in
the process of adapting
it to the new medium it
was necessary to
transpose it from the
original key of C to G,
thereby doing away with
some of the difficulties
they would have
encountered in the
original key. The first
violin and cello parts
are similar to the right-
and left-hand parts of
the original piano
version. The few changes
I have made in these
parts have been for the
convenience of the string
players, but in no way do
they change the nature of
the music.Since the
original implied a
harmonic framework in
many places, I have added
a second violin and viola
part in such a way that
they not only have
interesting music to
play, but also fill in
some of the implied
harmony without in any
way detracting from the
composition's musical
value. Occasionally, it
has been necessary to
raise or lower a few
passages an octave or to
modify others slightly to
make them more accessible
for young players.It is
hoped that the musical
value of the composition
has not been too
compromised, and that
students and teachers
will come to enjoy this
little piece in its new
setting as much as
pianists have in the
original one. This
arrangement may also be
performed by a solo
string quartet. When
performed by a string
orchestra, the double
bass part may be
omitted.- Douglas

Virginia
Croft's experience as a
string player and
educator is evident in
the care with which she
has scored this beautiful
folk tune idiomatically
for young string players.
Relatively easy to play,
Skye Boat Song is a great
opportunity to develop
lyrical playing habits
with a developing string
group. Here is a very
playable setting of a
beautiful Scottish folk
song. It commemorates one
of the most exciting
moments in Scottish
history in the middle of
the eighteenth century
during the Jacobite
Rebellion. At this time,
a small group of men
escaped by night in a
tiny boat across the
rough sea to the Isle of
Skye to save the life of
the young lad whom they
believed to be the
rightful heir to the
throne of Scotland.As you
play this music, can't
you feel the boat rocking
and the oarsmen straining
at their posts against
the sea? The long
diminuendo from m. 51 to
the end passes the final
melodic fragment down
through the voices until
the small boat has
vanished into the
distance, leaving only
the water.The words of
the original folk song
are:Speed, bonnie boat,
like a bird on the
wind;Hark, how the
seagulls cray!Carry the
lad that was born to be
kindOver the sea to
Skye!.
