About this arrangement

Clarinet; Piano Accompaniment (Clarinet/Piano) SKU: HL.48025291 Clarinet (B-Flat) and Piano. Composed by Elena Kats-Chernin. Boosey & Hawkes Chamber Music. Classical, Ragtime. Softcover. 12 pages. Duration 150 seconds. Bote & Bock #M202537374. Published by Bote & Bock (HL.48025291). ISBN 9783793144342. UPC: 196288172154. 9.0x12.0x0.062 inches.“When I came to Sydney from Russia in 1975 with my sister and parents, we took only a few belongings with us, including beautiful hand-embroidered bed linen. It was so valuable that we never used it. One day I wanted to take a look at these treasures but found that they had moth holes. To ease the pain of losing the family heirloom, I decided to write this piece,” says Elena Kats-Chernin. The result was a ragtime (the English word “rag” also means “shred”), interspersed with pauses symbolising the holes. Staccato notes, especially in the clarinet part, represent the biting moths.
