Richard Franko Goldman's Sonatina for Two Clarinets was written in 1945, and was originally published under the title Three Duets for Clarinets. It was re-issued in 1975 under the more accurate title of Sonatina. The three short movements are: 1. Moderately Fast; 2. Very Slow; 3. Fairly Fast. The work has had many performances in all parts of the world.
The Sonata for Violin And Piano was commissioned by The National Federation of Music Clubs for the 25th Anniversary of the League of Composers in 1948. It was completed in 1952, but not published until 1964. The first performance was given in New York on April 30, 1952 by Joseph Fuchs, violin, and Jack Cox, piano. It has since been performed by distinguished artists in Italy, South America and the United States.
The Sonata is in three movements, each based on a note-row. The first movement, allegro moderato, uses several motifs derived from various forms of the row, and may be described as being in modified sonata form. The second movement, molto adagio, is in A-B-A form, the middle section being in the form of a canon, and the last section being an exact retrograde of the first. The final movement, molto allegro, opens with a canon in augmentation, and is generally contrapuntal and imitative throughout.
Vincent Persichetti writes: "My Parables are non-programmatic musical essays, sometimes short, sometimes long, but always about a single germinal idea. They are one movement pieces for solo instruments or combinations of instruments (piccolo, flute, oboe, English horn, clarinet, alto saxophone, bassoon, horn, trumpet, trombone, viola, double bass, organ, piano, carillon, brass quintet, string quartet and band). Parables IV for Solo Bassoon was written in 1969."
Ruth Shaw Wylie's Psychogram, 1968 was commissioned for James Tocco in 1968 and was first performed by him in Detroit that same year. The composer describes it as a profile in music of her psychological states during a year of bitterness, frustration, sadness and intense angers, along with her desperate attempts to maintain an outward semblance of equilibrium and composure.
This title, originally issued on the CRI label, is now available as a burn-on-demand CD (CD-R) or download in MP3/320, FLAC or WAV formats. CD-Rs come in a protective sleeve; no print booklet or jewel case included. Liner notes are accessible via the link above.
