Work introduction
I wrote Clartoons in the summer of 2017 for the Pinzgau Clarinet Choir, commissioned by the Musikum Salzburg, originally for clarinet solo and clarinet choir.
In 2018 I created the present version for clarinet and piano. The approx. 11-minute work consists of 4 musical cartoons:
1. ClariCATure - quasi an overture - 2'32''
2. Clarousel - a fair waltz somewhere between Vienna and Paris - 2'33''
3. Cl'aria – a prayer without words - 3'10''
4. Clarnival - a parade-parody - 2'36''
