"Inspired by the commissioner's name and location ([, Slippery Rock University Clarinet Choir under the direction of Dr. Amanda Morrison),] the title Slippery Slopes may also suggest other meanings.While beginning work on the piece in September 2022, I learned of the passing of my former teacher, the great bass clarinetist Ron Reuben (who joined the Stan Kenton Band on saxophone after graduating from Curtis; he later served for 38 years as the Philadelphia Orchestra's bass clarinetist). Ron liked reminding me that most modern jazz is more inventively progressive than most modern classical.
The opening 32 bars oozed out when I heard about Ron, and I originally thought this would become the 2nd of 3 movements in a little suite. But those opening bars just wanted to get up and dance."
