Caprice for Clarinets
Score and Parts
By Clare Grundman

I am also a middle school student and I am doing this piece with a clarinet quartet for a competition as well. It isn't technically difficult and it is a really fun and upbeat piece, esp. for the level i am in. I play in the advanced band at...

my school and although I'm not first chair, i think that my love for music can be seen through it! it Rox!!

I'm a junior in high school and I played this piece in a clarinet sextet. It turned out to be a really awesome performance! My group played this for 2 competitions and both times we received the highest rating. The music is not technically difficult, so the actual notes...

aren't the feature of the piece. Instead, the dynamics bring the clarinet ensemble together. This is probably a piece for high school level or better, however, I would suggest this piece only to a group of serious players. If the students aren't into music (as in they're just taking music as an elective class) I think enthusiasm would be missing and the piece would fall apart. With good tone and dynamics, it's amazing!
