Adagio-Tarantella

DETAILS/COMMENTS: Duration approx 5 Min.
Slow, expressive, Italian opera-esque introduction (Adagio), followed by a lively Tarantella. A pleasing and fun piece. Be aware that there is a full version and an abridged version; both are common.

Debussy, Claude    ed. by David Hite
La Fille au Cheveux de Lin (The Girl with the Flaxen Hair)

Details/Comments: Range to altiss. E
This short work is calm and very expressive. It is idiomatic and composed of mostly eighth notes and sixteenth notes. Great solo piece for a budding clarinetist.
