CONCERTINO in Bb major, Op.12

About the Music:
Ferdinand David (1810-1873) was a German violinist and composer of the Romantic era. This Concertino, originally for bassoon, is one of his more familiar works. The single-movement work has a duration of just under 10 minutes, making it an ideal choice for contest, jury, or audition purposes. That said, it is musically worthy of a place on a recital program. The original key is maintained in this transcription, placing the bass clarinet part comfortably in C major. An extended-range instrument can be utilised, but is not required, as alternative passages are provided for performance on a low E-flat instrument.

About the Arranger:
Andrew Sprung is second clarinettist of the Traverse Symphony Orchestra (Traverse City, Michigan) and adjunct instructor of clarinet at Spring Arbor University and Hillsdale College. He maintains a private studio of 35+ high school, middle school, and adult amateur clarinettists and bass clarinettists.
