My new Clarinet Sonata

I've just published my new clarinet Sonata, a work that I finished last September but have been polishing since. The work is in one continuous segment with three interconnected movements. I dedicated this work to Guy Dangain, who was my sight-reading professor at the Paris Conservatory...many year ago! He also gave me another very good idea, which I'm going to take care of soon, which was to make an arrangement of the Debussy Clarinet Rhapsodie for the Saxophone. If a clarinetist thinks that it's a good idea, then it probably is!

The work is loosely tied into a situation related to an "online" correspondent who I knew as several "individuals" who turned out all to be the same person! In the same way, the themes in the first two movements are brought together in counterpoint and weaved into something which, if not exactly the same, becomes something "unified".

The work is available at Musik Fabrik's clarinet music catalog.
