Cinco Bocetos for Clarinet Solo by Roberto Sierra. Subito Music, 1984, SS, 10 pages. The composer often used jumps from from the low to the high register to create what he calls a polyphonic mirage. Five (obviously) colorful sketches (bocetos): (1.) Preludio (Prelude) starts the set with the exciting rhythms of salsa while (3.). Interludio nocturno (Nocturnal Interlude) glances at the beautiful and ephemeral images of the tropical nights. Rustic songs inspire (2.) Canción del campo (Country Song) and (4.) Canción de la montana (Mountain Song). The cycle closes with (5.) Final con pajaros (Finale with birds) that quotes and old Catalonian folk tune titled Song of the Birds. All pieces are without bar lines. Duration about 8:45. (C0918)
