Concertino for clarinet

Experience Classical

Available for over a year

This concertino is lightly scored for clarinet with small orchestra, and notable for its delicate lyricism, especially in the first movement. The second and third movements are more virtuosic for the clarinet and characterised by a simple syncopated rhythm. Photographed by Howard Coster (1930).
