About
Romance for Clarinet and Piano was written in 1971 and performed at a band concert in Epsom Girls Grammar School (Auckland) in 1972 – the soloist being a talented young clarinet player, Anne Ruddy, from Papatoetoe High School. Both clarinet and piano parts, technically, are able to be played by good high school players, but the style of the music demands some use of rubato (ie. flexible tempi) and a "cadenza-like" freedom in the short unaccompanied passages for the clarinet.
