As If for Bass Clarinet and Piano by Patrice Sciortino. International Music Diffusion, 1992, SS, 14 + 4 pages. Patrice Sciortino (1922-) is a French composer and music educator. Dedicated to Jean-Marc Volta. An advanced piece that includes mixed meter, flutter and slap tonguing. Tight ensemble with piano is required in many places. This would be a real show stopper for a graduate or professional recital. (C0781)
