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...

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.

But all five are really fun to play!
