Giuseppe Tartini: Clarinet Concertino: Clarinet: Instrumental Work

The clarinet compared with the flute oboe and bassoon is a modern instrument and therefore little or no music written before the time of Mozart exists for it. This is a misfortune for it means that a golden age of music which included Handel and Bach and a host of lesser but admirable composers has hitherto been a closed book to clarinetists.This delightful little work is a free arrangement of movements taken from two of Tartini s sonatas for Violin arranged for Clarinet and String Orchestra by Gordon Jacob. This is the version for Clarinet with Piano Accompaniment. The solo clarinet part is also included on a separate insert.
