    This is a perfect piece for a student fresh out of highschool looking to challege their skills. This is also an extremely fun piece with both slow and fast parts. There are a few strange key signatures however so beware of that.

  • April 12, 2011 Superb

    While not that technically challenging, I rate this piece as advanced because this piece is hard to play well musically, and can be really expressive. This edition is beautiful, and on nice tan paper, which is always a plus. The only thing that I would say is that it should...

    have been made three pages laying next to one another, and not the page turn.

    Osborne's Rhapsody for clarinet solo is one wonderful piece of music. I would note that it was originally written for Bassoon, but the clarinet is even better, though it does not, I think, quite capture the "Eastern" sound that the bassoon excels in with this piece. It is not...

    very technically challenging, but dynamic contrast is vast and musical expression is (or should be) prominent. The high register of the Clarinet is hardly tapped into, and there are few fast passages in it, though enough to make for some practice. A favourite part of mine: the cadenza-like solid run in the latter half of the piece. The edition is very nice, on brown paper, which I always like. Serious about the Clarinet? I recommend this piece highly.

  • July 18, 2008 Really worth the buy

    I got this song to mess around with after seeing it. It isn't a song that is overly easy and it greatly lends itself to interpretation and different playthroughs each time. It has technical aspects that took some working on and it proved to be the perfect audition piece...

    for me.
