Annotation : An intensely modern work, Three Pieces for Clarinet Trio requires players with great technical facility and awareness. The work is comprised of three movements: “Prelude,” “Interlude,” and “Finale.” The most challenging aspect of this work is the expansive range and complex rhythms, which will cause problems for players on the individual and ensemble levels.
