This book explores collaboration between composers and performers
in the context of the clarinet concerto genre. Focus is placed on
British works written between 1990-2004, in particular the outcomes
of the author's extended interactions with composers Nigel Clarke,
Martin Ellerby and Philip Sparke. Following an overview of
historical liaisons between composers and performers, especially
clarinettists, the book progresses with an evaluation of the
collaborative processes employed by contemporary composers and
clarinettists. The author then examines, from a personal
perspective, the relative strengths and weaknesses of extended
interactions with Clarke and Ellerby, measuring the extent to which
prior experience in an ongoing partnership may inform and enhance
process and outcome. Using a more recent interaction with Sparke as
an exemplar, the book concludes with a review of how the author's
experience compares with that of other clarinettists and composers
consulted, and whether the skills acquired can be adapted to the
specific conditions of future collaborations between composer and
performer.
