The Jane Set, for solo clarinet is one of a series for solo instruments. This particular version also comes in a duo set, for Alto Sax and Bass Clarinet. Like its progenitor, The Alex Set (for solo oboe or saxophone), this work is evocative, idiomatic, virtuosic, and widely expressive. The four contrasting movements are marked Misterioso; Murmuring and ghostly; Vivace; and Misterioso. Playful, with the speed moving from slow, to moderato, to fast, and finally back to slow again- a completed journey.
Why the name? Â With the first set, in my youthful ebullience, I figured, hmm, a name?- if not sonata or study, perhaps a real name. Â I chose Alex, which was propitious, as the work, in its final form, was commissioned by the great oboist Alex Klein. Â I have decided to continue this playful approach with this set, as well as the recent Jack Set for solo bassoon.
