Op. 121, that is. A few weeks ago, I began sketches for an unaccompanied clarinet piece for this slot. While that work was yet in progress, I wrote (quickly, quite quickly . . . probably within a 24-hour period, stretching overnight) the trio for low brass, Le tombeau de W.A.G. The following day or so, I arranged Le tombeau for a k a rl h e nn i ng Ensemble scoring of alto flute, clarinet, double-bass and frame drum; and in that form we shall play the piece on the 6th and 7th of June. These two scores are Op.122 and Op.122a, respectively.
As events have transpired, I have decided not to pursue the unaccompanied clarinet piece; I may or may not use the material for another work. Have not yet decided what next to write . . . maybe this, maybe that other.
I may begin by arranging an alternative scoring of Misapprehension, a piece which I had hoped would be be played this academic year.
