SKU: A0.587808

Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Arranged by David McKeown. Classical,Concert,Standards. Score and part. 9 pages. David McKeown #4979355. Published by David McKeown (A0.587808).

Adagio Cantabile is the second movement of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No.8, named by his publisher, the "Sonata Pathetique". This example of Eighteenth Century marketing was successful! The Sonata was a hit with both critics and the buying public and did much to establish the young composer’s reputation.

This arrangement transcribes the piano score as a Solo for Clarinet with Piano accompaniment. There is a separate solo part included with the score. 

Soloists at an advanced intermediate level and above will find this ideal for formal and informal performances. The rhythms are mostly straightforward, and there is plenty of scope for expressive, lyrical playing with subtle tempo changes. There is one high F sharp. Since the main melody is played by the clarinet the piano part is easier than the original. The overall performance time is around four and a half minutes.
