Sonatina for Clarinet and Piano (2011)
This sonatina has four main, large sections, the second of which I wrote much earlier than any of the other sections when the melody popped into my head a few years ago. I developed the melody into a solo piano piece, which I then forgot about. Much later, when I was working on the first section of this sonatina, I heard it as leading into the piano piece I had written earlier, so I rearranged that piano solo for clarinet and piano. The third and fourth sections, while each having their own unique characters, make motivic references to the first section (and, to a lesser extent, the second section.)
