This Canzon was originally included as part of the collection Canzoni per sonare con ogni sorte di stromenti, a volume of 36 canzoni by 13 different composers, first published in 1608. The publisher, Alessandro Raverii, was based in Venice, and though he only printed music between 1606 and 1609, more than 50 of his volumes have survived until today. This Canzon à 16 for four SATB choirs, has been arranged here for clarinet choir by Matt Johnston. It can be performed as a clarinet choir or as a quadruple clarinet quartet.

In 1941, I was invited by Viktor Vaszy to take on a choice double role, as a teacher of composition at the Cluj Conservatory as well as chorus master at the Cluj National Theatre. For me, this meant both an official state appointment and a substantial increase in my income. At the time I was over 35 years old and still without a permanent post. I took up my new duties at the end of the summer. My wife and I felt very much at home in Cluj but the most important for me was that along with my artistic obligations I found time to compose. Unfortunately we do not know why Farkas wrote in 1992 a new version of the Three Burlesques for clarinet quintet and for whom it was intended. The first movement Allegro, arc shaped, is more a succession of rhythmic patterns than melodies, with hectic ostinatos and staccato chords. In the middle of the movement, a short figure, like a second theme, brings a bit of calm and gentleness. The second movement, an expressive Moderato comodo and the final Allegro are shorter and also contrast with staccato chords.
