Sonata No.6 in D Minor (Score & parts)

Description

Arranged for Clarinet Fusion: a San Francisco/Bay Area clarinet choir under the direction of Dr. Lawrence E. Anderson. This work has always been a favorite of the arranger, however, being a fairly difficult work, it seemed it would be easier to play if it was divided up into 10 parts, rather than one person having to play them all. A haunting Chorale and Variations leads to a Fugue using the same motif. For such a heavy and brooding piece in the first two movements, the Finale is beautifully calm. Instrumentation: E-Flat Clarinet, 5 B-Flat Clarinets, Alto Clarinet/Basset Horn, 2 Bass Clarinets, Contrabass Clarinet/Contralto/String Bass
