Eb Clarinet:


CL0015.  Christopher Hobbs. Swiftly to Virginia for Eb clarinet and piano. 

  1. Bullet1981/1991.  Loose-bound for ease of turning.  Solo part, computer-set, A4, 7 pp.; piano accompaniment, composer's manuscript copy, A3, 9 pp.  £5 plus p + p.

  2. BulletChris Hobbs' first piece for the Eb clarinet, this is a great showcase piece.  In three sections: the first consists of relaxed conservatoire runs with a gentle rocking accompaniment; the second, a smoky blues-like passage, and the third is fun: part Lisztian demons, part jazzy showtune, returning to the beginning, but this time in misty wonder.  You can ask for a sample first page in pdf format: just contact us at questions**experimentalmusic.co.uk (for the **, substitute @), and you can check out these scales for yourself.
