+ | **Annotation** : American Sketch is a short work for mixed clarinet quartet. The original score | ||
+ | contains an alto clarinet part, but the work is more frequently performed with three Bb clarinets. | ||
+ | The inclusion of the alto clarinet is more an indication of the trend of the time of composition. | ||
+ | The range of the work only enters the altissimo register in the first clarinet part. The writing is | ||
+ | also primarily grouped in pairs, making it easier for younger ensembles to identify the different | ||
+ | lines. | ||
