Adagio and Allegro Op. 70 for Bass Clarinet or Clarinet and Piano by Robert Schumann transcribed by Jean-Marc Volta. International Music Diffusion, 2002, 16 + 4 pages. This piece, written in 1849, was originally for horn or violin or cello and piano. The Adagio is Langsam mit innigem Ausdruck while the Allegro is Rasch und feurig (Allegro con brio). For a clarinetist it rates as an advanced high school level piece. However for the bass clarinet, the range up to altissimo F and other technical demands place it at the early college level. Duration is approximately 9 minutes. (C0784)
