SOLO WITH CONCERT BAND
As I neared the finish line on the series of sonatinas for wind instruments and piano that I worked on for about a decade,
it was suggested to me that I should transcribe one of them as a solo with concert band. I did that one, and then
decided that I would do a few more as well. This page will be their home as I finish them.
As sonatina means "little sonata," so does concertino mean "little concerto." Like the original mini-sonatas, these mini-concertos are all in 3 movements that follow traditional sonata forms on a somewhat smaller scale.
​
Each concertino on this page has a link to a video on YouTube where a recording plays while you follow the score and it turns the pages for you.
This composition is a band transcription of my Sonatina for Clarinet and Piano. Except for having a few more rehearsal numbers, the solo part is exactly the same and can be previewed here.
The individual movements, with their form, keys, and locations on the audio track, are listed below. ​.
1. Allegro agitato - sonata allegro - G minor 0:00
2. Andante tranquillo - chaconne - C major 4:08
3. Allegro - abridged sonata-rondo - G minor 6:58
