Description

The Andante from Felix Mendelssohn’s early Clarinet Sonata is a touchingly simple song without words, which only Mendelssohn could have composed.

I have long dreamed of arranging this wonderful music for clarinet, string orchestra, harp and celesta. This wish has now been fulfilled within the framework of the Irish Chamber Orchestra’s Men dels sohn Project. Jörg Widmann, January 2016
