Etudes – Clarinet Unaccompanied

Description

Impressionist?Each of these studies, well known to the oboists, is prefaced with a picture from the famous impressionist movement.Like in those masterpieces, there is no academism to be found in the writing.This music abounds with momentary impressions, mixing resonant bubblings with bright touches, “espagnolades” and ragbag of birds songs.Gilles Silvestrini has wonderfully managed to recouncile poetry with technical difficulties throughout his concert studies.
