The
clarinettist Irith
Gabriely was inspired by
her love of Barbara
Heller's Dialogues (for
violin and viola) to
arrange these duets for
two Bb clarinets. The
result is a set of varied
concertante dialogues
that present
clarinettists with a few
challenges, requiring
stamina, breath control,
intense and contrasting
dynamics, chromatic
passages, whole tone
passages, sensitive tone
production, leaps across
wide intervals, fast
playing, disciplined
rhythmic control and
listening to one another
closely. In this edition
all tempo indications and
dynamic markings are
intended for guidance:
these duets may equally
well be interpreted in
other ways. This edition
therefore also includes a
second section where all
the pieces are reproduced
without such markings,
ready for individual
interpretation. The
Dialogues lend themselves
very well to chamber
performances; they are
also short enough to
serve as brief
interludesat readings or
exhibitions. Their
expressive qualities,
brevity and range of
musical and technical
demands make them highly
suitable material for
youth music competitions.
A flute or oboe might
well be played with the
clarinet as alternative
instrumentation for these
duets (ED 22017).
