Suite for Chloë for Clarinet Duet

From the Publisher

Suite for Chloë is a 4 movement suite for beginner clarinet duet. The first clarinet part is about Grade 1 to 2, but the second part, with its chromaticism and long phrases, is intended for a teacher or a more advanced student. There is a strong didactic thread running through the sections of the Suite, with "For Openers" requiring a decisive attack, fanfare style; "Metro Gnomes" demanding articulative skill and metronomic precision; "Smooth Operators" encouraging an efficient legato style, and "Best Foot Forward" stressing rhythmic drive (alla militare).

Several key and time signatures are represented with various accents, dynamics, metronome markings and basic performance directions, and the whole thing lasts for 2.5 minutes, often the length of a popular song.

A solo clarinet with piano accompaniment version is also available WD069. The two publications may be played together if a clarinet duet with piano is required.
