My first
piano sonata was started
when I was in college,
but was recently revised.
The main key is B-flat
Major, with the first
theme of the first
movement being a fanfare.
The second theme is more
lyrical in nature, in
D-flat Major. After an
exposition repeat, the
development deals mostly
with the fanfare
material. The
recapitulation is
by-the-book, with a
sudden, surprising coda.
The slow movement, placed
second, has the character
of a chaconne, using two
different major scales in
the treble and bass
clefs. The tempo quickens
to a dance, and an
explosive climax. From
out of the ashes comes
the beginning of the
piece, modified from it's
original state. The
scherzo played rather
fast, mostly in octaves.
There is a short trio
which was influenced by
Prokofiev's Fifth
symphony. After the
dacapo, the movement
disappears into thin air.
The last movement is a
Rondo. The material for
the A section is taken
from the opening measures
of the piece. The B and C
sections are developments
of the other themes of
the first movement. The
sonata ends with much
finality.

IApart from
some of his Sonatinas,
Opus 36, Clementi's life
and music are hardly
known to the piano
teachers and students of
today. For example, in
addition to the above
mentioned Sonatinas,
Clementi wrote sixty
sonatas for the piano,
many of them unjustly
neglected, although his
friend Beethoven regarded
some of them very highly.
Clementi also wrote
symphonies (some of which
he arranged as piano
sonatas), a substantial
number of waltzes and
other dances for the
piano as well as sonatas
and sonatinas for piano
four-hands.In addition to
composing, Clementi was a
much sought after piano
teacher, and included
among his students John
Field (Father of the
'Nocturne'), and
Meyerbeer.In his later
years, Clementi became a
very successful music
publisher, publishing
among other works the
first English edition of
Beethoven's Violin
Concerto, in the great
composer's own
arrangement for the
piano, as well as some of
his string quartets.
Clementi was also one of
the first English piano
manufacturers to make
pianos with a metal frame
and string them with
wire.The Sonatina in C,
Opus 36, No. 1 was one of
six such works Clementi
wrote in 1797. He must
have been partial to
these little pieces (for
which he also provided
the fingerings), since
they were reissued
(without the fingering)
by the composer shortly
after 1801. About 1820,
he issued ''the sixth
edition, with
considerable improvements
by the author;· with
fingerings added and
several minor changes,
among which were that
many of them were written
an octave higher.IIIt has
often been said,
generally by those
unhampered by the facts,
that composers of the
past (and, dare we add,
the present?), usually
handled their financial
affairs with their public
and publishers with a
poor sense of business
acumen or common sense.
As a result they
frequently found
themselves in financial
straits.Contrary to
popular opinion, this was
the exception rather than
the rule. With the
exception of Mozart and
perhaps a few other
composers, the majority
of composers then, as
now, were quite
successful in their
dealings with the public
and their publishers, as
the following examples
will show.It was not
unusual for 18th- and
19th-century composers to
arrange some of their
more popular compositions
for different
combinations of
instruments in order to
increase their
availability to a larger
music-playing public.
Telemann, in the
introduction to his
seventy-two cantatas for
solo voice and one melody
instrument (flute, oboe
or violin, with the usual
continua) Der Harmonische
Gottesdienst, tor
example, suggests that if
a singer is not available
to perform a cantata the
voice part could be
played by another
instrument. And in the
introduction to his Six
Concertos and Six Suites
for flute, violin and
continua, he named four
different instrumental
combinations that could
perform these pieces, and
actually wrote out the
notes for the different
possibilities. Bach
arranged his violin
concertos for keyboard,
and Beethoven not only
arranged his Piano Sonata
in E Major, Opus 14, No.
1 for string quartet, he
also transposed it to the
key of F. Brahm's
well-known Quintet in F
Minor for piano and
strings was his own
arrangement of his
earlier sonata for two
pianos, also in F
Minor.IIIWe come now to
Clementi. It is well
known that some of his
sixty piano sonatas were
his own arrangements of
some of his lost
symphonies, and that some
of his rondos for piano
four-hands were
originally the last
movements of his solo
sonatas or piano trios.In
order to make the first
movement of his
delightful Sonatina in C,
Opus 36, No. 1 accessible
to young string players,
I have followed the
example established by
the composer himself by
arranging and transposing
one of his piano
compositions from one
medium (the piano) to
another. (string
instruments). In order to
simplify the work for
young string players, in
the process of adapting
it to the new medium it
was necessary to
transpose it from the
original key of C to G,
thereby doing away with
some of the difficulties
they would have
encountered in the
original key. The first
violin and cello parts
are similar to the right-
and left-hand parts of
the original piano
version. The few changes
I have made in these
parts have been for the
convenience of the string
players, but in no way do
they change the nature of
the music.Since the
original implied a
harmonic framework in
many places, I have added
a second violin and viola
part in such a way that
they not only have
interesting music to
play, but also fill in
some of the implied
harmony without in any
way detracting from the
composition's musical
value. Occasionally, it
has been necessary to
raise or lower a few
passages an octave or to
modify others slightly to
make them more accessible
for young players.It is
hoped that the musical
value of the composition
has not been too
compromised, and that
students and teachers
will come to enjoy this
little piece in its new
setting as much as
pianists have in the
original one. This
arrangement may also be
performed by a solo
string quartet. When
performed by a string
orchestra, the double
bass part may be
omitted.- Douglas

Chen
Yi’s beautiful and
highly-textured tone poem
was inspired by ancient
Chinese poetry; its
melodic ideas were
developed from musical
phrases characteristic of
Chinese opera. Wang
Ya’s original verse as
translated by Chen Yi
reads:“SONG OF SPRING
OUTING”Ten thousand
apricot trees by the
riverside,Spring flowers
bloom after the wind at
night.Covered over the
garden, colors dark and
light,Mirrored in the
green water
ripples. SONG OF
SPRING OUTING was
commissioned by the
Center for East Asian
Studies and the Asian
Classical Music
Initiative at the
University of Kansas in
2022 for Dr. Yi-Yang Chen
to premiere in 2023.The
work was inspired by an
ancient Chinese poem with
the same title:Song of
Spring Outingby Wang Ya
(Tang Dynasty)English
translation by Chen YiTen
thousand apricot trees by
the riverside,Spring
flowers bloom after the
wind at night.Covered
over the garden, colors
dark and light,Mirrored
in the green water
ripples.This inspiring
image is like taking a
walk through a beautiful
garden with layers of
colorful trees and
flowers, mirrored in the
green water.The opening
phrase of the music
introduces the signature
intervals, the leap of a
seventh found in Beijing
Opera fiddle’s
language, followed by
melodic material with a
major 2nd and perfect 4th
in pentatonic style as
the thematic materials.
[C-Bb-G in bars 1-2,
followed by the top
pitches A-B and Ab-E( in
bars 2-3]. This statement
is brought back
(Rehearsal F) in a
retrograded form of the
introduction at the
climatic end of the
piece.The musical form is
a combination of
variations on thematic
materials, and a rondo.
After the introductory
section, Rehearsal A
introduces an
improvisation-like
mountain song melody
(developed from the
pentatonic material in
the
introduction).Rehearsal B
brings in a lively
texture in short
groupings with staccato
in both hands (using the
seventh leap interval
introduced in the opening
of the piece).Rehearsals
C and D develop the
introduction’s
pentatonic melody and the
mountain tune (introduced
in Rehearsal A) with more
layers in the
texture.Rehearsal E
develops the material
presented in Rehearsal B,
with an extended range in
both ends of the
keyboard, increasing the
freshness and
excitement.

“Wolf
gang Amadeus Mozart's
(1756-1791) Flute
Concerto in D is an
adaptation of the
original Oboe Concerto in
C, which the composer
reworked in 1778. The
Concerto remains widely
studied and performed on
both instruments, making
it one of the more
important Concerti in the
woodwind repertoire.
Concerto in D is in three
movements; 1. Allegro
aperto, 2. Adagio non
troppo, and 3. Rondo:
Allegretto. The first and
last movements are in the
tonic key, whilst the
second movement is in the
subdominant key of G
major. A Dutch flautist
of the time, Ferdinand de
Jean, commissioned Mozart
for four Flute quartets
and three Flute concerti.
However, the composer,
who famously disliked the
Flute, only completed
three quartets and one
concerto. Instead of
composing a second
concerto, Mozart
rearranged his Oboe
Concerto, with
substantial changes for
it to fit with the Flute.
De Jean did not approve,
yet the Concerto in D for
Flute remains as popular
to this day as the
Concerto in C for
Oboe.â€.
