Description:
Hodkinson blends his love of Stravinsky's own Three Pieces with his early beginnings in jazz and popular music to fashion Quilt; Three Pieces for Solo Clarinet. Although; as Hodkinson points out; 'The work makes considerable demands on the dexterity; rhythmic acumen and stamina of the soloist;' attention should be paid to the movement titles; Ballad; Blues; and Boogie; as guides to performance style. 'Quilt should sound as if emerging from an experienced nightclub player. If the artistry of; for example; a Buddy DeFranco; Tony Scott or Barney Bigard is unknown to the performer; then perhaps some enjoyable listening is in order.'
