Always looking to expand performance opportunities and challenges for his instrument, Kornfeil turns to the works of Gustav Mahler as source material for the clarinet. There's the title song from Ruckert-Lieder, three selections from Des Knaben Wunderhorn, and "Oft denk' ich" from Kindertotenlieder. Ottensamer notes the incredible range in which Mahler used the clarinet, and trusts that these arrangements will capture the full orchestral flavor in these piano reductions. For advanced performers. |
