CLAUDE DEBUSSY 1862–1918 14 Première rhapsodie 8.27 2 Rhapsodie The versatility in the sound of the clarinet has kept it central in classical music, jazz, and ethnic folk music. Rhapsodie displays the diverse and rich possibilities in international 20th-century literature for the instrument, in captivating recorded performances. The selections span nearly the entire century, from 1909 to 1996, including some of the most important clarinet works of the era. Beyond original compositions for the instrument, wonderfully idiomatic transcriptions for clarinet of music especially suited to it add to the colorful program. British composer Gerald Finzi (1901–1956) is primarily remembered for his art songs, his choral works, and Five Bagatelles, a mainstay of the clarinet repertoire. Three bagatelles were composed in 1941, adapted from ‘20-year-old bits and pieces’. A fourth piece was added in 1942, and the set in this state was first performed at the National Gallery in London in 1943. The cheerful, fleet, final piece was added before Five Bagatelles was first published in 1945. Leonard Bernstein (1918–1990) wrote few chamber instrumental works. His Sonata for clarinet and piano is by far the best known of these. Composition began in Key West in a quiet, transitional period of the composer’s life in 1941. The Cuban influences in the rhythm are evidence of Bernstein’s keen listening to Radio Havana. A studio recording by David Oppenheim – to whom the piece was dedicated – and Bernstein was released in 1943. Later that same year Bernstein made his phenomenal debut as conductor of the New York Philharmonic, and one of the most famous public musical careers of the century was launched. Béla Bartók (1881–1945) had a lifelong fascination with folk music of his native Hungary and surrounding countries, which heavily influenced his compositions. Additionally, he wrote many folksong settings. Originally composed for piano in 1915, the Romanian Folk Dances were based on Transylvanian melodies. An adaptation by Zoltán Székely for violin and piano was published in 1926, and recorded with Bartók at the piano in 1930. Noted Hungarian clarinetist Kálmán Berkes (b.1952) adapted the Székely arrangement for the one recorded here. On the clarinet, the tunes have a persuasive, klezmer-like flavor. Claude Debussy (1862–1918) was a master composer in his prime when he composed the Première rhapsodie for clarinet and piano in the winter of 1909–10. When Debussy joined the Paris Conservatoire’s Board of Directors, he was asked to compose two pieces for the school’s clarinet examinations. Students have rarely had such a luxurious challenge written especially for them! Debussy’s beloved first book of Préludes for piano was composed around the same time. The composer orchestrated the Première rhapsodie in 1911. The wordless 1907 composition for low voice and piano, Vocalise-étude en forme de Habanera, by Maurice Ravel (1875–1937) was adapted for cello and piano in 1921 and became Pièce en forme de Habanera. It has since been transcribed for other instruments, including the clarinet. Like many other French composers, Ravel had a fascination with the evocative music of Spain. In the same year as Vocalise-étude he composed the opera L’heure espagnole and the orchestral suite Rapsodie espagnole. American composer Libby Larsen (b.1950) describes Blue Third Pieces as ‘a little homage to the interval of the third and its place in the blues’. The title of the second piece, ‘Salt Peanuts’, is borrowed from the 1945 Dizzy Gillespie/Kenny Clark tune featuring a signature syncopated motive of a wide, leaping octave, adapted by Larsen as a seventh. The set is composed for either flute or clarinet and guitar. (The composer likes the recording by Todd Levy and Rene Izquierdo so much that she posted it on her website.) Acclaimed Hungarian clarinetist Béla Kovács (b.1937) is – in the great tradition of the composer/musician – writing rich repertoire for himself 3 to play and thus adding to the literature available to all clarinetists. Sholem-alekhem, rov Feidman! imaginatively explores the klezmer traditions of the clarinet. Kovács has written several ‘hommage’ pieces to major composers, including Bach, Paganini, Weber, Debussy, Bartók, Kodály and Khachaturian. In these he not only pays tribute to the composer’s style, he does so in a way that is creatively idiomatic for the clarinet. The Hommage à Manuel de Falla captures the style of that great composer and conjures the spirit of flamenco. Cuban composer/clarinetist/saxophonist Paquito D’Rivera (b.1948) is one of the major genre-crossing artists of the 20th century. Respected as one of the great jazz composers and players, with 14 Grammy Awards, D’Rivera has also written accomplished classical works. Like many jazz artists, D’Rivera has made various versions of many of his pieces. In 1995 the Aspen Wind Quintet, in which Todd Levy has played, commissioned Aires Tropicales from D’Rivera; two of the movements are ‘Contradanza’ (dedicated to Ernesto Lecuona) and ‘Vals Venezolano’ (dedicated to Venezuelan composer Antonio Laura). A clarinet/piano adaptation of the latter, recorded here, is among the other versions created. D’Rivera recorded a solo clarinet version of ‘Contradanza’ on his 1991 album Havana Café, and recorded other versions as well. Tributo a Lecuona is one Cuban musician’s admiring and loving salute to another. Rick Walters Rhapsodie Dank ihres vielseitigen Klangs hat die Klarinette seit jeher einen bedeutenden Platz in der klassischen Musik, im Jazz sowie in der ethnischen Volksmusik. Die bezaubernden Einspielungen auf dem vorliegenden Album Rhapsodie zeigen, wie breitgefächert und umfangreich die weltweite Klarinettenliteratur des 20. Jahrhunderts ist. Die Musikauswahl aus der Zeit zwischen 1909 und 1996, darunter einige der bedeutendsten Klarinettenwerke der Ära, umspannt fast das ganze Jahrhundert. Neben Originalkompositionen für das Instrument ergänzen wunderbar idiomatische Transkriptionen musikalischer Werke, die besonders gut zur Klarinette passen, das bunte Programm. Der britische Komponist Gerald Finzi (1901–1956) ist vorwiegend durch seine Kunstlieder, seine Chorwerke und seine Five Bagatelles, einen Grundpfeiler des Klarinettenrepertoires, berühmt geworden. Drei Bagatellen entstanden 1941 und waren aus 20 Jahre altem Material „zusammengestückelt“. Das vierte Stück fügte Finzi 1942 hinzu, und in diesem Stadium wurde die Sammlung erstmals 1943 in der Londoner National Gallery aufgeführt. Das fröhliche, flotte letzte Stück kam vor der Erstverö#entlichung der Five Bagatelles im Jahr 1945 hinzu. Leonard Bernstein (1918–1990) schrieb ein paar instrumentale Kammermusikwerke. Seine Sonate für Klarinette und Klavier ist mit Abstand das bekannteste davon. Der Komponist begann 1941 in Key West in einer ruhigen Überbrückungsphase mit der Arbeit an diesem Stück. An den kubanischen Einflüssen im Rhythmus ist zu erkennen, dass Bernstein ausgiebig Radio Havana hörte. 1943 erschien eine Studioaufnahme der Sonate von Bernstein und David Oppenheim, der auch Widmungsträger des Stücks ist. Später im selben Jahr hatte Bernstein sein phänomenales Debüt als Dirigent des New York Philharmonic Orchestra, und eine der glanzvollsten Musikerkarrieren des Jahrhunderts nahm ihren Lauf. Béla Bartók (1881–1945) war zeitlebens fasziniert von der Volksmusik seines Heimatlandes Ungarn und der umgebenden Länder, was sich deutlich in seinen Kompositionen niederschlug. Er vertonte auch viele Volkslieder. Die Rumänischen Volkstänze, die er 1915 ursprünglich für Klavier komponierte, beruhten auf Melodien aus Transsylvanien. 1926 erschien eine Bearbeitung von Zoltán Székely für Geige und Klavier, 4 die 1930 mit Bartók am Klavier eingespielt wurde. Der berühmte ungarische Klarinettist Kálmán Berkes (geb. 1952) passte Székelys Arrangement für seine Einspielung auf diesem Album seinem Instrument an. Auf der Klarinette haben die Melodien einen besonderen Klang, der überzeugend an Klezmer erinnert. Claude Debussy (1862–1918) stand auf dem Höhepunkt seiner großen Komponistenkarriere, als er im Winter 1909/10 seine Première rhapsodie für Klarinette und Klavier schrieb. Als er dem Leitungsgremium des Pariser Konservatoriums beitrat, bat man ihn, zwei Prüfungsstücke für die Klarinettenklasse zu komponieren. Studenten kommen nicht o$ in den Genuss, ihr Können an so prächtigen Werken zeigen zu dürfen! Der beliebte erste Band von Debussys Préludes pour piano entstand ungefähr zur selben Zeit. 1911 schrieb der Komponist eine Fassung der Première rhapsodie für Klarinette und Orchester. Maurice Ravel (1875–1937) komponierte 1907 seine textlose Etüde für tiefe Singstimme und Klavier, die Vocalise-étude en forme de Habanera. 1921 entstand eine Bearbeitung für Cello und Klavier unter dem Namen Pièce en forme de Habanera. Seither wurde die Musik auch auf andere Instrumente umgeschrieben, darunter die Klarinette.
