Siennicki -- Nocturne for Contra-alto Clarinet and piano

[SanchoSax]

What a wonderful contemplative sound this performance has. It really draws me into it. Thanks for it.

@SanchoSax Thanks for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Emily, I'm struck by the closeness in timbre between the E-flat contra and the cello, especially when it's played with such eloquence and sensitivity.

What a beautiful sound and tone! An expressive duet! I didn't know you also played contra-alto...

[emilygclarinet]

@CgjKbari Thanks so much. :)

I played contra-alto when I went to McGill. They had a wonderful contra-alto clarinet there. Unfortunately, I no longer have access to any of the larger clarinets.

I used to play the contra alto clarinet back in high school. You have just confirmed what I have always known. This is a beautiful, expressive and underutilized instrument.

[emilygclarinet]

@sfbassoonguy Thank you so much. :)

[OrchestrationOnline]

Nicely done, Emily.

[emilygclarinet]

@OrchestrationOnline Thanks. :)

Really nice piece, you play it very well!

[emilygclarinet]

Thank you :)

[slajab]

Really great playing!!! Name of this US composer sounds very familiar for me. His family come from Poland and his music has something Polish.

5 stars, respect and regards,
