Description
This sonatina is described as "atypical" because of the diversity and contrast offered by its three short movements.
The first movement, fast and extremely rhythmic, resembles a chase between the clarinet and the piano. A short, gentler, and more expressive central passage allows the energy to subside before the chase resumes with renewed vigor.
The second, much calmer and more expressive, is based on an ostinato carried by the left hand of the piano. The soloist sings, with a certain restraint, in nuances ranging only from p to mf .
As for the third movement, which is very brilliant, it is not so far removed from klezmer music (music of the Jews of Eastern Europe) with a mode using two augmented seconds.
