Companion Piece
for Clarinet and String Quartet

Details:

A work to be programmed alongside the infamous Mozart and Brahms clarinet quintets—the latter of which appropriates thematic materials from the former. This work is based on thematic materials found in both, sometimes in very subtle ways. A predominately diatonic harmonic vocabulary prevails throughout and is set in a single-movement form consisting of three main sections: a spirited and brisk middle section offsets the elegiac and melancholic mood of the two outer sections.
