Finale from Gran Partita (Clar. Octet)

Description

Clarinet in Eb, Clarinet in Bb 1, Clarinet in Bb 2, Clarinet in Bb 3, Clarinet in Bb 4, Clarinet in Bb 5, Alto Clarinet, Bass Clarinet 1, Bass Clarinet 2 — The Mozart Serenade No. 10 for 13 Winds (often called Gran Partita) is a 45-minute program in seven movements of Mozart's genius. The Finale, in particular, is a quick and sprightly affair of tight interplay among the performers. Thorne has taken the Finale and arranged it for eight like instruments, without foregoing any of the original joy. A wonderful program addition for an advanced ensemble, Thorne's arrangement provides parts for an alto clarinet or a fifth Bb clarinet, as available.
