Song without Words for Clarinet and Piano by Edward German edited by Colin Bradbury. Lazarus Edition, 2007, SS, 8 + 3 pages. The Song without Words (or "Album Leaf," as it was originally called) was written for Manuel Gomez, who gave the first performance at a Prom in September 1898. The Observer described the work as "simply a little gem. A theme of great simplicity and haunting beauty, full of grace and tenderness and developed with considerable skill and variety of resource, places this little work among the most successful of Mr. German's smaller pieces." Upper intermediate level with a duration of about 5 minutes. (C1136)
