Description:
Divertissement for clarinet was commisssioned by Verity Butler in 1994, and first performed by her that year in Cheltenham Town Hall. The work holds a similar place in the composer's oeuvre as Elgar's 'The Music Makers' and Shostakovich's 8th StringQuartet in that there are literal quotations from earlier works, and in the last movement, a reworking of material heard in the first.

performed by Verity Butler and the Royal Ballet Sinfonia conducted by Gavin Sutherland. The music of the orchestral version is available in the
