Summary of This Score
These delightful small classical sonatas, "almost sonatinas," come from the Clarinet Method by Lefévre (1802) and are presented here in an arrangement by John Davies. Their writing, deliberately technically undemanding, emphasizes the essentials of clarinet playing: breath stability, register homogeneity, intonation, articulation clarity, and above all, quality of singing tone. The piano accompanies and supports the line, offering an elegant harmonic framework that highlights the "unaffected" character of these pieces.
Thanks to their lyrical charm and format, these pieces are an excellent choice to enrich a clarinet and piano repertoire: they are suitable both for weekly practice and for performance in auditions, delivering gratifying musical results from the first rehearsals. An ideal selection to approach the classical style, refine dynamics, and work on a simple, expressive, and balanced duo interpretation.
