Dialogues for Two Clarinets

* Dialogues for Two Clarinets


    This duet started off because someone asked me to write a duet for trumpet and clarinet. It worked well, but several people (including myself) felt that it would work even better as a clarinet duet. 

Here is the link to the computer playback of the piece. 

The three movements are

• Reminiscing
• Pleasant Conversation
• Punctuated Dialogue

    In the last movement you will hear percussion sounds. These are to represent the foot-stomping or toe-tapping that the performers are to engage in whilst playing. The foot antics are written into the score and are very deliberate, punctuating the dialogue.

The first two movements are intermediate in difficulty, the last movement is more challenging do to triplet sixteenths and the foot-stomping / foot-tapping required.  All together the three movements are a little under five minutes in length.
