Boosey & Hawkes Copland - Concerto For Clarinette - Clarinette Et String Orchestre H Et Piano

Summary of This Score

This new edition offers a redesigned presentation of the work, with renewed notation aimed at improving reading comfort. The engraving choices and clarity of the layout facilitate sight-reading, memorization of passages, and rhythmic setup, while limiting ambiguities found in some older editions.

At the heart of this publication are also detailed musical directions designed to guide the musician in style, articulation, dynamics, and phrase balance. Whether working independently or with a teacher, these cues help structure progress: understanding the discourse, building climaxes, managing musical breaths, and ensuring consistency of nuances.

One of the major strengths of this edition is the integration of the ossias from the 1948 manuscript. These variants provide direct access to alternative fingerings or passages, melodic line options, or different solutions depending on the level and interpretative intention. They constitute an excellent working tool to compare, choose, and justify musical decisions, while enriching knowledge of the manuscript version.

Thanks to its controlled length, this score is suitable both for regular stand practice and effective preparation for auditions, exams, or concerts. An edition designed to combine musical rigor, readability, and in-depth study.
