Scores

Ravel’s String Quartet CD also available

This was the first score completed, if you know the Quartet you'll understand why it was chosen. For string players it is very difficult piece to play let alone perform, so for clarinet players it is a very serious challenge. It has been arranged for two Bb, alto and bass clarinets. Similar in voicing to the string quartet. It is true to Ravel's score, there has been no rearrangement of the parts.

Nicoli Paganini. 24 Capricci arranged for Solo Clarinet and Solo Saxophone

The third MB Publication arrangement is the Paganini 24 Caprices. Both the clarinet and saxophone player will find these a real challenge.

Please Download the first page to try it out. MB Publications scores

Transfigured Night

Please Download the first pages of each part to try it out. MB Publication scores.
