The End is the Beginning is the End Bass Clarinet - Sheet Music

SKU: A7.ALEA1080

ABOUT THE WORK: The End is the Beginning is the End is an outstanding performance piece for solo bass clarinet, both dramatic and challenging yet not overwhelmingly virtuosic. From the composer's notes: The object of this piece is to create a monophonic line that accompanies itself, resulting in an implied polyphony. There are two voices within the melodic line: a bass line and a higher line. Emphasis between the two lines varies throughout the piece. A certain rubato or freeness can be applied to the rhythm to highlight the duality of the lines.
