Annotation: Along with the Poulenc Sonata for Two Clarinets, this work is one of the very few for clarinet in Bb and clarinet in A. As it was written for former New York Philharmonic principal clarinetist Stanley Drucker and his wife, the music pushes the capabilities of each player in many ways. The range is expansive and the independence of the parts requires confidence and understanding of the other’s part.
