Dvořák's Romance, Op. 11, transcribed for Clarinet

SOMERVILLE, Mass. - Dec. 17, 2021 - PRLog -- Noteworthy Sheet Music, LLC (NSM) is an online sheet music publisher offering original works by distinguished contemporary composers, re-notated versions or facsimiles of rare historical scores, and arrangements of pieces from the classical repertoire.  Selected NSM publications are offered as professionally-printed hard copy editions; most are available as convenient pdf downloads.

Czech composer Antonín Dvořák based his Romance, Opus 11 on the slow movement of his String Quartet in F minor, composed in 1873, re-working that Andante con moto quasi allegretto to create two versions of the Romance, one for solo violin and orchestra (B.39) and another for solo violin and piano (B.38).  The Romance is one of Dvořák's most magnificent melodic works, teaming with romance, lyricism, and emotional intensity.  Understandably, the piece became extremely popular and has been transcribed for several other instruments, including viola, cello, guitar, and flute.  In creating a Noteworthy Sheet Music edition of the work for clarinet (and piano), several changes in the solo part were incorporated to account for sonic differences between the clarinet and the violin, but every effort has been made to maintain the spirit, character, and flow of Dvořák's original composition.  The new NSM edition provides the transcribed B-flat clarinet part only; the score for violin and piano is readily available in the public domain as a free pdf download, and that piano part can be used in performance along with the new clarinet part.  For additional details and to view a preview page, visit the NSM listing page at https://noteworthysheetmusic.com/sheet-music/ensemble-tags/winds/856-dvorak-romance-op-11-trans-clarinet.  Or check out the NSM complete catalog of sheet music, CDs, and resources at https://noteworthysheetmusic.com/.
