Refractions for Clarinet

An experiment on repetition and evolution. A draft, for now. Composed in 1 day.

Hi @veps,

This piece definitely reminds me of @Eickso's pieces given that he loves using minimalism and he's a great clarinetist. I think this is a real interesting piece that will test the breathing of the clarinetist. The subtone usage is a real funny effect and I love your dynamic contrast there. The piece really flows for me. Thx for sharing!

A successful experiment, then, in my view! Congrats
It could be extended if you wrote an orchestral piece around these motifs and then used this as the solo cadenza perhaps? That'd be cool 🙂

Quite enjoyable ... a wonderful challenging work for a clarinetist to show off his abilities!

Congrats,

This has some great features that elevate it above a mere Clarinet solo exercise.  The figurations displayed have great harmonic variety and are interspersed with changes in articulations and short pauses to allow the player to take a breath.  I usually stay away from reviewing pieces for solo instruments (besides solo Piano/Keyboard) because I usually find them bland and devoid of much harmonic/melodic interest without any kind of accompaniment to give them context.  Not so with this piece.  I think this piece does a great job as a stand alone solo Clarinet work providing itself ample harmonic context through its figurations.  Nice job and thanks for sharing this stimulating piece!
