Clarinet Concerto

This is the full orchestra study score of the well-known Leshnoff Clarinet Concerto per its premiere with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Ricardo Morales and Yannick Nezet-Seguin in 2016. The Philadelphia Orchestra continues to commission new works for its principals, and 2016 saw the pairing of Jonathan Leshnoff with Philadelphia principal clarinetist, Ricardo Morales. The Philadelphia Orchestra, under the direction of Yannick Nezet-Seguin, gave the world premiere of the Clarinet Concerto in April 2016. In Leshnoff's writing, the performance depends upon the soloist to "delve deep to unearth the inner meaning of the lines," while Morales admits, "I'm mesmerized by his melodic style."
