Frequently derided and ignored, it has suffered decades of unjust ridicule and several times even the notion that it should be made completely extinct has been suggested. Thankfully, many clarinettists and composers feel differently; the alto clarinet is a beautiful instrument full of expression with a great variety of tone. The four movements of Episodes showcase the alto clarinet’s potential as a solo voice and to demonstrate that it can and should have a place on the concert stage. Each movement of Episodes may be performed separately.

Woods Only, Arrangements #6515227. Published by Woods Only, Arrangements (A0.956912). The second movement represents one of the most beautiful pages ever written in music. The soft melody, accompanied by harmonies that could only have come from Beethoven's pen, create an atmosphere of tranquility and impressive calm. For beginning students it is a great piece to develop the notion of the cantabile, and can be performed in academic recitals or concerts. Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, op. 13, generally known as, the Pathetic Sonata, was published in 1799, although it was written the year before. Beethoven dedicated this work to his friend, Prince Karl Lichnowsky. With this sonata, Beethoven opened the door to the future - no one after hearing this work - could close their eyes to the possibilities of expression presented here.
