Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy

Duo Concertant Op114 Re Mineur

Renowned composer, Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) was a German composer and child prodigy. His Duo Concertant remains prominent to this day, and Léon Grisez's transcription for two clarinets makes the work even more accessible. Composed in 1833, Duo Concertant was composed during a time when Mendelssohn was gaining fame in both Germany and Britain. The work, originally composed for clarinet and bassethorn, is made up of three movements - 1) Presto, 2) Andante, and 3) Allegro Grazioso. Grisez's arrangement of Mendelssohn's Duo Concertant cannot be missed by aspiring clarinet duos.
