**Annotation** : This work by Clare Grundman is a nice introductory piece for clarinet ensemble
playing. The parts are almost always grouped in pairs, allowing players to feel more freedom in
the writing without being completely alone. The articulations are abundant and often used to
displace the beat. The range is compact, never entering the altissimo, allowing the players to
focus on blend and tone quality in the lower registers.
