Night
Music The clarinet in
Clifford Odets's comedy
Night Music is directly
involved in the stage
plot: it is played by the
main character and
characterizes his moods
and actions. The composer
Hanns Eisler's estate
contains several clarinet
solos coming from the
play's context; the most
challenging of these is
the Moment Musical
(called that only later),
evidently deleted by the
composer in favor of
alternatives that were
easier to play. Two such
alternatives are
reproduced in the
appendix to this first
edition. All three works
are suitable for
pedagogical practice as
well as for concert
performance, thanks to
their sometimes
brilliant, sometimes
pensive musicality,
together with their
exemplary musical
quality.
