- | **Annotation** : William Presser’s Nocturne is a relatively short work that spends much of its time | ||
- | exploiting the beauty of the low register of the clarinet. The work begins and ends in the low | ||
- | register at the piano dynamic. Overall, the work is technically approachable, | ||
- | comes in the independence of the parts. There are very few instances in which the players enter | ||
- | and play in the same rhythm. The players must also understand what is happening in the other | ||
- | parts to ensure that the entrances and handoffs are performed accurately. The range extends to | ||
- | G4, but the majority of the writing is focused in clarion and chalumeau registers. | ||
