Gabriel
Pierne (1863-1937) was a
French composer,
conductor and organist.
Despite being
predominantly remembered
as a conductor, his
Canzonetta remains a
recognised piece in the
Clarinet repertoire.
Pierne studied at the
Paris Conservatoire
before taking up the
position of chief
conductor for the concert
series, Concerts Colonne
in 1910. He remained in
the post until 1933, and
during this time, he
notably conducted the
world premiere of Igor
Stravinsky's The
Firebird. Pierne composed
for a variety of
instruments, Canzonetta
for Clarinet with Piano
accompaniment being one
of four solo works by the
composer. This Pierne
piece for Clarinet
contains many
characteristics typical
of the French style, such
as lyrical melodies, a
significant number of
performance directions,
flourishes of
semiquavers, chromaticism
and many changes in
dynamics. Canzonetta is a
varied piece, essential
to the repertoire of
aspiring
clarinetists..
