Description
André Messager (1853-1929) composed Solo de Concours for Clarinet in 1899, as a Paris Conservatoire contest piece. Composed in three sections, the cheerful first part contains triplet figures by the clarinet that can easily be heard over the accompaniment. The second part has a strong French melody that can be heard as an exchange between the clarinet and the piano. A cadenza followed by trills ends this section and leads to the final part, full of rich melodic energy. André Messager is a previous student of Gabriel Fauré and Camille Saint-Saëns who wrote numerous operas, operettas and ballets. He was later appointed Commander of the Legion dHonneur.
