Annotation : These trios are important to the repertoire of clarinet ensembles. Each trio is comprised of four movements written in classical forms. The technical and musical demands are not excessive for any one part, though the primary melody often initially enters in the first part. The range of the works extend into the moderate altissimo range, but never exceed G 6 . Each trio has a unique mood and students will find the works entertaining to rehearse and perform.
