A perfect Piece for exams or auditions - for students playing Clarinet for 4 years onwards

A collection of 4 virtuoso and descriptive pieces by Jean-Michel MAURY

" Virtuosity for humor: with a set od nuances describing the circonvolutions of the fly, this piece will give an originial touch for an exam or a concert. It can as well be played together with an improvised accompaniement by a percussionist (udu or zarb). " - Jean-Michel MAURY

" In the colloquial language from south-west of France, "bimbarolles" are small stars that you see when you hit your head. In the language of clarinetists, they are those notes that you can ear before a concert.  " - Jean-Michel MAURY

Here is a Piece to Flutter, voluble and perilous, for those who, as an aeralist, love to be on the razor's edge.

This Sonata in 4 movements comes from a group of 3 Sonatas for wind instruments (oboe, clarinet and bassoon) composed in May and june 1921. They are the last in the catalogue of Saint-Saëns' works. - RENAUD ESCRIVA

This Andante is the 2nd movement of the Sonata in E flat Major composed by Mendelssohn in 1824 at the age of 15. It is very beautiful dialogue between Clarinet and Piano which demands deep understanding between the two musicians.

Here is a very beautiful Adagio written in 1821 by Heinrich Baermann, the celebrated dedicatee of works for clarinet written by Weber. For a long while considered to be a youthful work by Richard Wagner, it was only in 1964 that it was realised that this unsigned manuscript, discovered in 1922, was in fact the Adagio from the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings No. 3 Opus 23 which had become detached from the original score. - Renaud ESCRIVA

Here is the sight-reading test used for the Clarinet examination at the Paris Conservatoire in 1910. The "Première Rhapsodie" was the extract given. What a year! - Renaud ESCRIVA
