David JOHNSTONE – Accolades, 8 Caprices in form of Sonata and Sonatina – SOLO CLARINET [only available in entirety from “Creighton’s Collection]
The ‘Accolades’ – caprices for solo clarinet – are a series of 8 concert pieces which explore many techniques of modern Clarinet playing written within traditional musical notation. Although they are primarily conceived as recital or concert works, they are also extremely useful as ‘study’ pieces and are programmed as such in the course-work repertoire of several Spanish music conservatoires.
These individual pieces can be performed freely in any number and in any order, but in general terms it is useful to know that these pieces gradually progress in an ascending order of difficulty: numbers 1 – 4 would be suitable for most intermediate players, and numbers 5 – 8 considered more appropriate for advanced clarinettists.

Movements or sections:
the beauty of the conception of this work is that Johnstone gives simultaneously a double performance possibility: it is that the pieces can equally well be endorsed as being programmed as a Sonatina (Nos. 1 – 4) or as a Sonata (Nos. 5 – 8) – in this case the programme should logically be set out as described below:
Sonatina for Clarinet Solo
I Moderato quasi andantino
II Scherzo
III Reflection (lento e rubato)
IV Moto Perpetuo
Duration: approx. 7 mins.)
….
Sonata for Clarinet Solo
I Allegro
II Scherzo
III Quasi cadenza (adagio e doppio movimiento)
IV Rondo (con fuoco e pesante)
(duration: approx. 14 mins.)

Instrumentation: Solo Clarinet

Approximate difficulty: Medium to advanced

Dedicatee of this presentation (if applicable): Joan Borràs, Spanish clarinettist, performing artist and professor.
