Scherzo Barbaro for Bass Clarinet and Piano by Boris Pillin. Western International Music, 1976, SS, 15 + 6 pages. So far all I have found on the composer is that he was born in 1940. This piece alternates between Andante and Allegro sections. While both sections have mixed meter, in the Allegro sections it is of the 2/4, 3/8, 5/8 variety. College level. One low D with an alternative given. In the article "Bass Clarinet Solos for Students" by William Hayter (Clarinet, Vol. 41, No. 4) the author writes: "A number of contrasting sections gives this piece appeal for a student advanced enough to approach various technical challenges across changes of tempo and meter."
