Programme Note
Concertino (1984)
For Clarinet and Small Orchestra
Poco Lento
Vivo-Allegro ritmico
The CONCERTINO for clarinet and small orchestra is lightly scored for single woodwind, two horns, trumpet, timpani, and strings. It opens poco lento with a canon between solo clarinet and flute; this recurs later, punctuated by expressive lyrical passages for the clarinet. The second movement is marked vivo with lively writing for the soloist ending with a little cadenza. The final allegro ritmico is characterised by a simple syncopated rhythm.
