A tour-de-force duet for advanced players based on a 1930’s jazz motif. Fun, but a powerhouse of a piece. Requires good flexibility, fast legato technique, and lots of energy!
“Four Romances” for Oboe and Piano are melodious, late romantic style pieces with conventional form and idiomatic writing. The movements are: Berceuse, Siciliano, Intermezzo, and Caprice.
Often a festival selection, Morris’ Jazz Sonata provides a change of pace for the clarinetist. The jazz rhythms and interplay between the piano and clarinet make this piece so fun to play and hear.
