Kale
vi Aho's (b. 1949)
Clarinet concerto (2005)
has five movements played
without pause. The
beginning Tempestoso is
dramatic and powerful,
but there is also a
beautiful, slow middle
section. The second
movement consists of a
virtuosic solo cadenza,
which is dominated by
mysterious tremolos on
the clarinet.The cadenza
leads to Vivace, con
brio, which is the
central climax of the
concerto and the most
virtuosic movement both
for the orchestra and the
soloist. Then follows the
slow, melancholic and
lyrical fourth movement
Adagio molto. The
Epilogue is slow, too;
the atmosphere of the
last movement is unreal,
mysterious. The solo part
at the end consists
largely of broken,
multiphonic clarinet
sounds before the
concerto fades out into a
silence. The orchestral
study score (ISMN
9790550096332) is
available for sale and
the orchestral material
for hire.
