This work,
which was written shortly
after the Trumpet Sonata
and the Five Pieces For
Piano, was first
performed by Georgina
Dobree and the composer
at the 1957 Darmstadt
Festival. The score was
subsequently lost, but
was rediscovered by Kevin
Corner in 1983. 'This is
a dramatic, emphatic and
at times extravagant
piece. The first movement
is a Moderato reaching
through wide-flung
clarinet lines and keen
piano gestures to a great
climax near the end. Then
comes a quick movement, a
kind of demonic scherzo,
including a cadenza for
the clarinettist. The
finale is an Adagio that
gradually achieves a sort
of simplicity, though not
before exceedingly
testing times for both
players. Duration c.
25mins.
