Pianophilia

Hello, dear everyone,

could someone please provide me with some information about the Bärmann Clarinet Concerto "Military" op. 6:
I know it is available on IMSLP, but my question is: how could it be transformed to a black and white scan?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Best wishes,
Alex

A later work by Milhaud:

Darius MILHAUD
Duo Concertante, for clarinet and piano, op. 351 (1956)

Martinu
Sonatina cl. and piano
(piano score only)
(publ. 1957)
(nms)

Clarinet part

Thanks for the Martinu. It's a lovely work.

I echo this sentiment. Although Martinu probably wrote far too much (although not as much as Milhaud) most of his pieces make me smile, and there are many works of his that I adore.

Thank you also C(h)aos for the Milhaud and the other scores you've just posted - all great contributions.

You're quite welcome. If my posts don't betray it, I'm actually mostly attuned to straightforward and workman-like composers such as Milhaud, Martinu, Villa Lobos, Holmboe, Bentzon, Vainberg, Golobev, Diamond, etc... and much prefer the positive atmosphere their work represents compared to that of any of the more monolithic and tortured realms of classical music (high romantics, minimalists, and a ton of avant-garde composers come to mind). Looking over the output from the twentieth century in retrospect, there's most definitely something to say for composers who weren't fumbling about trying to make their music match the speed of technology or otherwise attempting to make their music meet an increasingly-vulgar civilization halfway.

I wish we had a 'like' button. I like these sentiments too - although I like these composers in addition to your other categories. However I think Martinu at his very best is actually quite extraordinary. I also like composers who plough their own furrow so to speak, regardless of fashion - and I think composers such as Holmboe fall into that category - and in the same breath I would mention Valen, Rosenberg and Frank Martin - sources of the most beautifully crafted music anyone has produced.

Does anyone have the Terzettino dal Trovatore di Verdi concertata for Clarinet, Cello and Piano
by Domenico Liverani?
