After Figaro for e flat clarinet, Opus 23 (1985)
This short piece was written for my own playing on a new e flat clarinet. As the title suggests it is a sardonic reworking of moments from the Overture to Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro. It is very fast and quite virtuosic and explores the liberating technical freedom I felt when first playing on this smaller and lighter instrument. It was a work I later extended for solo viola for my wife, Nicole Saintilan, and in that version is called Attack and has had quite a lot of performances including by Patricia Pollett and Max Ryzanov.
