Parable for Solo Clarinet by Vincent Persichetti. Elkan-Vogel, 1974, 3 pages. Vincent Persichetti (1915-1987) was an American composer, teacher, and pianist who is well known to many in the United States for his popular compositions for the concert band. This is Parable XIII (Op. 126) of the 25 he composed between 1965 and 1986. These works are typically in one movement and are written in an improvisatory manner. This is an advanced work but does not require extended technique (other than one note that is flutter tongued). (C0733)
