Program Notes
I was inspired to make this transcription by two things. I love both the solo piano repertoire and the chamber repertoire, and I happened to be playing both the Brahms Op. 118 piano pieces and one of the Clarinet Sonatas Op. 120 around the same time. I was thinking about Brahms, and about how he had been so inspired by another Richard – an earlier master of the clarinet- to come out of "retirement" as a composer to write his Trio, Quintet, and two Sonatas with clarinet. So the sound of the clarinet was completely absorbing him at this time, as he was also writing his "private" piano pieces Op. 116-119, including this beautiful Intermezzo. As I was playing it, I suddenly "heard" the clarinet singing the beautiful melodies and countermelodies, and it was simply a matter of writing it down. To me, it sounds as natural- or even more natural!- with the clarinet as in the original solo piano version. The other inspiration for the transcription was the clarinetist I was working with at the time, Laura Ardan. I hope my admiration and love for her shines through the music! William Ransom
