You're glad this work was wrought. Very few are not. ,,,,, it's easy to remember in our music history, that England, was for a very long time, viz. 1500-1698, a country which produced some of the finest concert music (in the opinion of many) in all Europe.This...

work in question is an example of an English musical jewel.

Really really enjoyed these works by Finzi when first introduced to by my clarinet teacher. So decided to purchase the sheet music and learn all the pieces. I really like 20th century music , but Finzi's music has some very alluring qualities in its own right - his music has inspired...

some of my compositions. The five bagatelles are some of his best work.High quality printing. Both w/ and w/o piano accompaniment included. The sheets for the solo clarinet were in a booklet separate to the ones w/ piano accompaniment.CD recordings that came with the sheet music exemplify excellent performance. It is also fun to play with the piano accompaniments on the CD.In terms of difficulty, should satisfy players of a range of levels - the Romance is more of a beginner's piece, and the Fugue is in comparison much more technically challenging. But all five are really fun to play!
