I found the recording on a friend's shelf as I was preparing dinner one evening. I was immediately smitten by this wonderful music and decided that I wanted to perform it on an upcoming recital. I read and transposed through the the violin part and determined that, with a few exceptions, the part suited the clarinet. A week of hand written “old school” arranging later, I was ready for a performance! It was a success then and in several subsequent performances at Clarinetfest 2003 and the University of Oklahoma Clarinet Symposium in 2006. After many requests for publication, I am happy that I can finally share it with my many clarinet friends!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the transcription: \u003cbr\u003eThe obvious changes occur in the case of double stops and chords. I also changed the shape of a few scalar patterns to accommodate an extreme tessitura. A few phrases have also been lowered an octave. Many advanced players may find that, with our modern expanded workable range, these changes may not be necessary. I felt, however, that these different colors were more characteristic of the clarinet. In essence this makes the piece it's own unique and viable entity and not simply a note for note transcription. I have also added a few editorial breaths (in parenthesis) eliminating the need for circular breathing; use your own discretion.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Potenza Music","offers":[{"title":"Physical Book","offer_id":49272113692922,"sku":"PZA30012","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"PDF","offer_id":49272113725690,"sku":"PZA30012PDF","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2337\/0861\/files\/img684_a5812287-a0b4-462e-8387-3108045aeefd.jpg?v=1782925279","url":"https:\/\/www.clarinetallmusic.com\/products\/debussy-violin-sonata-clarinet-arrangement-potenza","provider":"CAMco Music, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
