**Annotation** : This work is written for mixed clarinet quartet, including alto clarinet. Though the
instrument has fallen out of favor in composition, there are works in the band and clarinet choir
repertoire that require students be able to play the instrument. As such, this work can serve as an
additional place to practice tone development and learn the tendencies of the instrument. Written
similar to any other rhapsody, the work features frequent virtuosic passages in the first clarinet
part. The range extends to G 4 , but only in the first clarinet part.
