Hello everyone. I am almost a senior in high school, as well as a somewhat advanced clarinetist. as a senior i am to chose a couple of outstanding solos to play for scholarships, auditions, msboa, and things of that nature.
If any of you more advanced clarinetists know of any REALLY good solos with piano accompanists, please reply asap? your help would be greatly appreciated.
If possible, please email any suggestions to dblxw@yahoo.com
Thanks again!!!

Here are some ideas of what I played in high school:
Saint-Saens Clarinet Sonata, 1st movt.
Mozart Clarinet Concerto, 2nd movt.
Weber Clarinet Concerto
Weber Clarinet Concertino
Finzi Five Bagatelles

Try looking at these and see what you think,
Good luck!

Stamitz concerti
Weber Concertino

alex

as i sit here and listen to the Malcolm Arnold Sonatina, I wonder how anyone could NOT play it. hehe.

also, I would recommend Poulenc's sonata, the Osbourn Rhapsody, and the Hindemith Sonata.

just a few that I personally love playing

the above are pretty good-
i would suggest;
mozart's clari concerto - 1st mvnt
weber's 'clarinet concertino'
and for difficult and imppressive jazz,
artie shaw's 'concerto for clarinet'

every one who had applied to your post is right.. im senior now im attend college for performace in clairnet in the fall. i can tell you to do the
mozart concerto - that is a must
weber concertino
duo contantant its a good peice im playing it its differnt.. im playing it tis saturday in front of a judge just for nyssma
poulenc sonata
Finzi concerto

I second (or third) the Mozart and Weber pieces,
I also like Solo De Concours, it have a huge cadenza at the
beginning and you can really show of

Thank you all so much!! I really appreciate you guys because i was kind of freaking out. I have to do a little more research, but most of these are great pieces. thanks again

i strongly suggest Solo de concours be andre messanger. it is an amazing piece!!! i'm playing it right now (im a junior in high school, but i want to be a music major). i'm using it for college auditions and competitions.

Mozart: Clarinet concerto
Poulenc: Sonata for clarinet and piano
Schumann: Fantasy pieces
Messager: Solo de concours
Finzi: Five bagaltelles

Concerto No. 1
Concerto No. 2
Concertino
Rossini: Intro, Theme, Variations
Poulenc Sonata
