Description:
The Concerto for Clarinet is originally a composition for clarinet and jazz orchestra by Artie Shaw. The piece ends with a 'legendary' altissimo C. The piece is a 'pastiche thrown together out of some boogie-woogie blues, clarinet-over-tomtom interludes, a commonplace riff build-up towards the end, all encased in opening and closing virtuoso cadenzas for the leader's clarinet'.
The composer and his orchestra performed the work in the Fred Astaire film Second Chorus (1940).
