For an Actor: Monologue for Clarinet (in A) by Shulamit Ran. Theodore Presser Co., 1978, SS, 8 pages. The composer wrote: "To me, the [clarinet] in its contemporary usage suggests an incredible gamut of gestures, dynamics, and emotions. Accordingly, in MONOLOGUE, the player assumes the role of a virtuoso actor who, by purely musical means, goes through a kind of wordless 'monodrama.'" This is a one movement, multisection avant garde work, which employs many special techniques. (C0490)
