Excellent piece + Excellent performance.  Fantastic!

I think the 2nd movement was overly fast, faster than the 3rd even which was not exactly slow! I love the dynamic accents in the last movement which break up what would otherwise be a virtuoso home run towards the finishing slur. Bravo!

God I love Stravinsky

This is one of the best solos for clarinet i've ever heard (others:"Dialogue de l'ombre double", by Boulez, and Luciano Berio's Sequenza...). It has many of the characteristics of Stravinsky's music: irregular rhythm, folk elements, "catchy" tune, briefness and (at least for the listener) simplicity.

@ellettucin79 tell me about it... >< freakin' 2nd movement

I am learning this piece right now, its pretty challenging

Note wise is great. I'm not feeling the groupings in the second movement. I notice a lot of people interpret the second movement without much of the metric accents. Especially at the end. For those who don't know, the very last line (which has the high G jumps) has a pattern of 16th notes that are beamed together in a 3+2+3+3+4+3 grouping. I'm working on this piece for my senior recital and getting the metric accents in there correctly is killing me.

Learning to play this at the moment. So Hard.

incredibly well played. interpretation, every note was heard. Playing this piece for state myself, its impressive to hear such accuracy.
