Blackbird for Clarinet and Piano (1987). Programme note At some time in the winter 1982-83 when I was on the Faroe Islands I had the idea of writing a paraphrase over Lennon/McCartney's mystical song Blackbird from 'The White Album'. One could call it a deconstruction of Blackbird: to cut open the bird to see how it manages to sing. The piece was however not finished until 1987. Anders Brødsgaard
