Westerlinck - From Far and Near for Bass Clarinet and Piano

Belgian composer Wilfried Westerlinck composed this solo piece for bass clarinet in 1985. It is doubtlessly one of the most representative works for this instrument. It highlights all the features and characteristics of the bass clarinet, and it demands a solid technique from the player. This piece is a standard repertoire piece for every bass clarinet player, offering a richly colored and higly varied walk through the musical garden of the instrument.
