Dichotomies – clarinet quartet

Dichotomies (10/30/15) for clarinet quartet – 5’30”.  There are several dichotomies involved in this work.  First, there is the obvious character change between each movement, the first starting with drive and energy; the second, almost static; and the third light and comic.  The challenge for performers consists of making each idea sound continuous even when switching abruptly from one idea and one dynamic level to another.
