In 1941, shortly before being drafted into the war effort, Finzi finished three pieces for clarinet, using ‘20-year-old bits and pieces’. With a fourth piece added, they were given their first performance in January 1943 at one of the famous National Gallery lunchtime concerts that went ahead daily during the war.
A Finale was added for publication in July 1945, and the Five Bagatelles immediately became Finzi’s most popular work. However, the composer dismissed the pieces as 'only trifles’ and ‘not worth much, but got better notices than my decent stuff’.

The spirited opening ‘Prelude’ is followed by a peaceful ‘Romance’, a tender 'Carol', the 'Forlana' and a zippy Finale which shows off all the versatility of the instrument.
Confidently showcasing the wide range of rich tones that the clarinet can make, Finzi's pieces remain just as popular today.
I love the part where the piano and the clarinet make sounds
Mine too!
That's my favourite!
Is this the type of music a freshman clarinet major would play for his recital?
Realy?? I think that part IS cool but no so much HAHAHAHAHAH
Oh your a smart guy
Not me literally bawling my eyes out for the second movement
One of the most touching recordings I have ever heard.
I’m playing the whole song for a solo contest in March, and I’m in love with every note! I just started learning the 5th movement a week ago. It’s pretty hard but it’s nice to have a challenge! 😊
Any tips-? I’m doing it this year 😅

Try the fifth movement lol
It depends @@andrewtang5761
This video really helped me to figure out the speed I need to play it at and I can follow it as well my own copy , thank you for this , I’m playing this for my grade 6
Same
well in that case the clarinet part is easier than the piano - you wouldn't get any grade 6 piano students anywhere near it!
This was for my level 5 solo! (Out of 6 levels)
@@treeman10 did you get on with it . Did it go well
@@jepl6985 yes it is easier but just you wait until the play the clarinet parts for the other finzi pieces
The last movement is literally my favorite song to play and listen to.
Best thing that has ever touched my ears. Thank you, Michael Collins!
Amazing that he had the time to record this whilst liberating Ireland
@@Ghost_of_Michael_Collins Not that Michael Collins
@@_ajrandom It was a joke
10:01 4th Movement
How in all my years of playing clarinet did I never hear of this piece? After 40 years of playing very infrequently I think I could actually learn some of these!
Such beautiful music to play and listen to. I wouldn't mind having it stuck in my head all day.
the forlana did 🙂
Such a beautiful piece, especially Romance and Forlana ~ I remember listening to my clarinety professor in college play this at a faculty recital. Great recording and thank you!!
I'm playing Romance and Forlana for a solo competition, they're my favorite!
Ethereal, playful, wistful, reflective et melodic. Finzi's 5 Bagatelles est magnifique !
I remember playing the first movement, and third movement back in 7th grade for a solo competition. It was a class one, so it was a difficult solo, considering we only had 1-2 years of experience. Now as a freshman, it’s crazy to think our marching music is quite a bit harder than the two movement, and don’t even get me started on the regional etudes. I am now currently working on Viktor’s Tale by John Williams, which is also much more difficult than the two movements I played back in 7th grade. Good times, to anyone having to preform this, good luck.
I performed Viktors Tale by John Williams last semester for our clarinet studio recital. I am now on this piece. Alot easier, I have to agree.
@@clarinetmaster4649 Now I basically just shot my self in the foot, because I agreed to preform Solo De Concours by A. Messenger for a gig.
@@ClarinetEnthusiast LOL, have fun with the cadenza ~~ Ricardo Morales' recording on French Portraits is great
Muy bonita obra
Literally gonna cry. I’m in 8th grade and my solo contest is this Saturday (for reference it’s Wednesday) HELP 😭😭😭😭

PURA MARAVILLA
I’m learning this as a senior at U of Mississippi! :)

@@limegoat2778 completely forgot to update- but i got a distinction💪🏻💪🏻
4:55 - Romance (B section - Poco piú mosso)
I have to perform the 1st and 4th movement next Saturday
good luck!
@@gracepatrick6432 thanks I just did them yesterday
@@poyoramen3641 how did it go?
@@gracepatrick6432 I was a little flimsy the first like 20 measures of the first movement but it was all smooth sailing from there
Districts?
Sounds magical when played at ~431hz
I think it sounds better at A = 440Hz
~ 448 Hz is sublime too!
Gosh I’m not that good at piano and probably can’t play this and I have a duet with my older sister on thissssss
Gonna play 10:01 and 12:38 this Saturday
12:39 Fifth movement

Playing these as part of my diploma next term :)
i swear listening to it at 1.25 speed makes everything more lit
I’m playing the prelude for solo & ensemble :)
Nice

I don't understand the 3/2 6/4 time signature at movement 3. Can someone explain me please?
The piece has 6 beats in a bar, but the grouping of those beats (melodically) are either 3 groups of 2 (like in the first 5 bars) or 2 groups of 3 (at bar 6). Part of the feel of the piece is the gentle alternation of these two groupings...sometimes even different between clarinet and piano (i.e. clarinet is doing 2 of 3, while piano is 3 of 2). It wouldn't make sense to change the time signature from 3/2 (when it's 3 of 2) to 6/4 (when it's 2 of 3) every few bars (in different parts). Putting both 'options' up front indicates that whichever is most appropriate is the 'option'. Remember music is fluid, like language, and the shift from 2 of 3 to 3 of 2 (and back again) is quite subtle - especially in a flowing and gentle movement like this. I hope this helps

I play the piano. It's very difficult!!😂
If you end up liking it, I highly, HIGHLY recommend looking up his op. 10 work, Eclogue for piano and strings. It is one of the most beautiful chamber works I’ve heard
I think the 4th is too quick
Same
I was thinking the same........ perhaps a few metronome ticks slower
It's marked (about) crotchet = 60 -- which is pretty well exactly what they're playing. Easy to check with a clock!
I prefer the oboe
