Mendelssohn in all probability composed the sonata for Carl Baron von Kaskel, who was also acquainted with Schumann and Wagner, and who dabbled in playing the clarinet and composing. The autograph of Mendelssohn's clarinet sonata has only been accessible again since the 1980s. Unfortunately the date at the end of the manuscript has been removed. A copyist's manuscript of the work that has also survived bears the date “1824.” The fairly simple clarinet part might pay tribute to Kaskel's ability and therefore lends itself to teaching.

This suite of songs and dances was commissioned by the piano/clarinet duet of Luca Ferrini and Joze Kotar. The suite is in three movements and each movement is either inspired by, or an arrangement of songs and dances from the Caribbean islands of Martinique and Trinidad and Tobago. The first, Biguine is a typical Martiniquan dance built on a simple verse chorus structure and without doubt, the result of the fusion of African and European cultures over centuries. The dance is historically associated with the town of Saint - Pierre (birthplace of my own maternal grandfather) and the form has evolved from the beginning of the 20th century to encompass satirical themes, politics, love, and the carnival. The clarinet is the main instrument of the Biguine, a name whose origins are highly contested although the most widespread belief is that it comes from the English verb, “to begin.”
The second movement is an arrangement of a quadrille song, You know one Joseph Keeba from a field recording in the village of Toco, in Trinidad. In 1939 an American couple, Melville and Frances Herskovits, both scholars, undertook a series of field study recordings in villages across Trinidad and Tobago as part of their life-long study of West African and African American societies. The Herskovits were among the first scholars to paint accurate accounts of African culture in North America, The Caribbean and South America and thanks to their recordings, traditional songs that have long disappeared from practise can still be found and serve as inspiration for generations to come. The words of the song make fun of the cuckold husband.
The third movement, Time for Man Go Home is an arrangement of a work song from a collection of Trinidad Folk songs by the eminent Trinidadian musicologist Edric Connor. In this song, built on a call and response, I have combined the solo melody with the chorus response to give the sense of a long working day coming to its end at dusk and the workers calling out that it is time for man go home. Mr. Connor's note in the collection remarks that this is the only song calling to stop work that he knows.

After the public opening of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883, Harper's Monthly reported, “The wise man will not cross the bridge in five minutes. . . .he will linger to get the good of the splendid view about him.” The composer was inspired by the same stunning vistas to write a “panoramic” clarinet concerto.
Like the four cables/webs of wire and steel that hold the Bridge together, the concerto has four movements - East, South, West and North - each like a musical “view.” It received its premiere performance at Carnegie Hall as part of the College Band Directors National Convention. Duration - ca. 26:00

It is little known that alongside his three great sonatas for clarinet and piano, Reger also wrote two charming miniatures for the same instrumentation. At the same time, it was the composer's express desire to reach a wider public with smaller works such as these that were to be published in music journals. Henle's single edition (taken from the volume of all of Reger's sonatas and pieces 51480909, also edited by Michael Kube) meets this wish today: its effervescent Tarantella and the Albumblatt that is full of nuances provide clarinetists and pianists with an easy introduction to Max Reger's magical world of sound.

The nineteenth century saw an enthusuasm for Italian opera which live performance could never satisfy. In the absence of gramophone and radio the instrumental transcription flourished, and composers, often themselves virtuoso performers, found in the most popular arias ready material for their own sets of variations. Here is an outstanding example: Donato Lovreglio (1841-1907) played the flute and composed many pieces for his own instrument, mainly operatic fantasias, as well as a few for the clarinet. In Fantasia on the opera 'La Traviata' he demonstrates his remarkable ability to write variations, which, whilst providing a dazzling display of notes, nevertheless remain faithful to the character of the Verdi arias which inspired them.
