This is a MIDI Representation. A performance will sound more rich.
A friend once came to me saying how she hoped to perform in a duet with a different instrument family. The one predicament was that she was a percussionist with a main focus on piano. I wrote this piece for her and I to practice and perform, either for just for fun or for others’ enjoyment. Even with its appearance as a clarinet solo with piano accompaniment, I will always think of it as how I wrote it to be. This piece is for a piano and clarinet duet. There are moments where the clarinet plays the prominent part and others where the piano is the focus. The two parts grow through each moment, benefitting off one another until finally ending in harmony and peaceful unity just as friends grow better with each other.
