Concertpiece for Clarinet, Winds and Percussion
Taken from the late 19th century German term, Konzerstuck, for a one-movement solo work with ensemble (orchestra or band) accompaniment, this concertino follows a traditional free form rhapsodic style. Thematically based on the intervals of a half-step, perfect fifth, half-step plus a tritone and permutations of those intervals, Concertpiece exploits the various registers of the clarinet in combination with the contrasting colors of the wind and percussion instruments of the symphonic band.
