Looking for a real showstopper for your clarinet and a fantastic piece for your ensemble? We've got just the thing. André Messager's Solo de concours is a glittering gem of the French repertoire, and we've given it the full string orchestra treatment it deserves. Forget the standard piano reduction—this is a chance to give your soloists and their string section a true stage presence. Warning: may cause your audience to applaud before the final note has even sounded!
Composed in 1899, Solo de concours was originally a "contest piece" for the clarinet students at the prestigious Paris Conservatoire. These pieces were designed to be both musically expressive and technically demanding, pushing the limits of a player's virtuosity. Messager, a master of operetta and light opera, poured all his theatrical flair into this work, creating a piece that’s by turns witty, lyrical, and breathtakingly virtuosic.
Our new edition takes this vibrant original and elevates it, replacing the piano accompaniment with a rich, full-bodied string orchestra score. It’s an arrangement that lets the clarinet soloist truly soar, giving the work a concert hall feel without the need for a full wind section. We’ve meticulously engraved the score and parts for ultimate clarity, so you can spend less time squinting and more time making music. It’s a rewarding challenge that’s perfect for a recital or a special concert.
