Dance Of The Comedians

This popular dance taken from Smetana's opera, 'The Bartered Bride.' First performed at the Florida State University's annual PRISM concert, this transcription was created through a collaboration between Matt Johnston and Darren Bartolo. Each of the 4 B-flat clarinet parts is split and requires 2 players per part (a total of 8 b-flat players minimum). This fast and furious showstopper is sure to please any audience! Instrumentation: E-Flat Clarinet, 4 B-Flat Clarinets (divisi), Alto Clarinet/Basset Horn, Bass Clarinet, Contrabass Clarinet/Contralto/String Bass
