Grand Rag
is part of a project in
which 67 composers each
composed a piece for solo
musicians of ANAM
(Australian National
Academy of Music) in
2021. Elena Kats-Chernin
wrote her piece in close
collaboration with
clarinettist Oliver
Crofts for his creative
and virtuoso skills. As
in many of her ragtimes,
the composer is
interested in powerful
expression and working
with a limited tonal
material. The clarinet
part alternates between
low and high registers in
various sections. The
piano is an equal
partner, with clusters
and clashing rhythms,
pedal points as well as
an unusual trill
fantasy.
