Lukas Foss was asked by Artie Shaw in the 1940s for a new work. Foss composed Elegy for clarinet and orchestra. The manuscript was given to Richard Stoltzman by Foss just before his death. Foss and Stoltzman concertized together for many years but never played this work. Stoltzman edited this beautiful work and presented the world premiere transcription for clarinet and piano in 2014. We are honored to publish this Foss gem in Richard Stoltzman's series for clarinet.
