+**Annotation** : Adapted from an early duet by Mike Curtis, Bulgarian Bat Bite showcases the
+composer’s Balkan influences. The work utilizes frequent metric shifts alongside its klezmer
+ornamentation (pitch bends, trills, and gracenotes). The range of the is moderate and does not
+exceed E 4 . There is a passage near the middle of this piece that requires clarinets one and two to
+perform with the mouthpiece in the lower half of the clarinet. This in addition to the frequent
+metric shifts can be overwhelming for many intermediate students.
