**Annotation** : An intensely modern work, Three Pieces for Clarinet Trio requires players with
great technical facility and awareness. The work is comprised of three movements: “Prelude,”
“Interlude,” and “Finale.” The most challenging aspect of this work is the expansive range and
complex rhythms, which will cause problems for players on the individual and ensemble levels.
