Fleeting Glimpses B-Flat Clarinet - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.1206710

This piece is inspired by an integer sequence (A053838 in the OEIS) that is self-similar at every third term. This means that if you take the first term of the sequence, then the fourth, then the seventh, and so on, you get a copy of the original sequence. The sequence begins in the clarinet melody at m. 9, while the right-hand notes of the piano part feature a slower statement of the same sequence. In the first half of the melody (mm. 9-12), the numbers 0, 1, 2 are represented by the notes B, C, D; in the second half (mm. 13-16), the scheme shifts downward by two steps to G, A, B. After an interlude (mm. 17-24), the sequence continues in mm. 25-32, now shifting the scheme downward by one step every bar. In the third section (mm. 40-47), the scheme shifts downward by two steps every two bars.
