A lesson in sound and phrasing. Why is this piece not heard in concert halls more often?

HI Andrew- I’m addicted to instant download access to classical music (I use Amazon mp3, which stores all my Amazon music purchases in the cloud for free) But what would be even better would be ongoing streaming access to ANY of a whole library of recordings, in a fashion such as is done by Netflix with videos.

Although I worry about this particular instance concerning spotify’s attempt at monopolization, vendors such as iTunes, cdbaby, and so on have dramatically changed dissemination of classical music easier. Though pop-ifying a classical album on itunes may not seem such a great thing in comparison with a hard copy (which has a booklet, a nice cover, etc), now one can afford to produce an album at almost half the cost if they choose online distribution only. Though I have only purchased digital downloads of classical music on two occasions (I like CDs), the simplicity of the whole affair is astounding.

Sorry, the composer’s email is no longer working, and I don’t have a new one for him. I’ll see if I can find him and tell him you’d like to play his piece.

Sorry I don’t recall. But I know one or maybe even two of them were Allan Segal barrels. http://www.clarinetconcepts.com/ Enjoy!

This is a very nice piece. I am programming a recital for myself, a tenor, clarinet, and piano. I have been frustrated that there are few pieces written for this combination, mostly soprano and clarinet. I am very interested in obtaining this score. Thank you.
