Lied Bass Clarinet and Piano by François Rasse. Metropolis Music, 1921, SS, 4 + 2 pages. François Rasse (1873-1955) was a Belgian composer and music educator. Henri Bok believes that this may have been the first published work written for bass clarinet and piano. It begins with an Andante molto espressivo introduction, followed by a faster ben cantando tempo, and returns to the original tempo near the end. This piece has a conservative range and is not difficult. (Duration 2:35) (C1415)
