Quote from: San Antone on August 03, 2025, 07:26:34 AMIt appears from your post that you believe "Cosmic Clarinets" to be a work, when in fact it is the title of a recording. This recording contains several works featuring a variety of clarinets. The longest work is Tierkreis, which can be performed with any combination of instruments, and in this case with clarinet and piano.

The other works are:

Klang - 5. Stunde Harmonium (2006) for bass clarinet

Bassetsu (1997) for basset horn

In Freundschaft (1977) for clarinet

Try reading again, this time with a bit more care. With some effort, you might just spot the words "these pieces".

Ah, yes, sorry I missed that.

A curious sort of mixture. The electronic sounds don't quite feel like opposition... more like part of the whole thing. The spiritual search, Samsara doesn't get in the way, it's just there, maybe not a condition exactly, more like... scenery. Yes, scenery. It's theatre, after all.
