Jump is an original work for solo bass clarinet by Australian composer Robert Davidson. The single-movement work is arranged in three small sections - fast, slow, fast. The composer was inspired by the contrapuntal nature of passages from Bach's cello suites, as well as a desire to show off the wide range of the bass clarinet. Jump is an excellent performance piece for the advanced player, and would make an outstanding addition to any recital program. This publication includes program notes written by the composer. |
