This volume presents keyboard works and solos songs by Johannes Brahms arranged for solo clarinet with piano accompaniment. These nine works have been carefully chosen to stay within the abilities of the intermediate levelclarinetist. In most pieces the clarinet part makes only brief exxtensions into the altissimo register emphasizing instead notes in the lower two registers. As with all works of Brahms the accompanying parts (here the piano) areprominent and often are of equal importance with the solo part. For this reason the piano part will require a performer of equal ability to the clarinetist. The music presented here is of high quality and gives the intermediateclarinetist interesting literature to perform for contest or recitals. Includes a separate pull-out solo part.
