Description
Janacek Sonata for Clarinet & Piano (based on the Sonata for Violin & Piano).
A new addition to the clarinetists' repertoire.
Janácek’s masterpiece in a convincing arrangement for clarinet.
Foreword by the arranger (Eng/Cz/Ger).
This arrangement of the well-known violin sonata is based on the volume of the Complete Critical Edition of the Works of Leo Janácek (Series E/12).
The Israeli clarinetist Shirley Brill, who teaches at the Hanns Eisler School of Music Berlin, has arranged the work for her instrument with a sensitive ear for the sound quality of the original composition. Her version displays the specific potential of the clarinet to good advantage; in a few passages it proved necessary to adapt the piano accompaniment. The arrangement was commissioned for the International Janácek Competition 2014 in Brno (Czech republic).
