Camille Saint-Saëns, Sonata for Clarinet & Piano, Op. 167, Allegretto

The Clarinet Sonata in E♭ major, Op. 167, was written by Camille Saint-Saëns in 1921 as one of his last works. This clarinet sonata is the second of the three sonatas that Saint-Saëns composed for wind instruments, the other two being the Oboe Sonata (Op. 166) and the Bassoon Sonata (Op. 168), written the same year. These works were part of Saint-Saëns's efforts to expand the repertoire for instruments for which hardly any solo parts were written, as he confided to his friend Jean Chantavoine in a letter dated to 15 April 1921: "At the moment I am concentrating my last reserves on giving rarely considered instruments the chance to be heard."
Played with: Leitner & Kraus Reform Boehm Clarinet Model 411F, mouthpieces from Leitner & Kraus Linea Verde 120 series and Zelltec LZ, REEDMASTER ligature and reed.
