André Messager
(1853-1929) composed Solo
de Concours for Clarinet
in 1899, as a Paris
Conservatoire Contest
piece. Composed in three
sections, the cheerful
first part contains
triplet figures by the
Clarinet that can easily
be heard over the
Orchestra. The second
part has a strong French
melody that can be heard
as an exchange between
the Clarinet and the
Orchestra. A cadenza
followed by trills ends
this section and leads to
the final part, where the
Clarinet stands out from
the Orchestra, with a
rich melodic energy.
André Messager is
a previous student of
Gabriel Fauré and
Camille
Saint-Saëns who
wrote numerous operas,
operettas and ballets. He
was later appointed
Commander of the Legion
d?Honneur.ââ¬Â.
