I played this for the state music contest in Illinois in 1957. When I listen to it today I begin to get nervous at the same, difficult passages that I did over 60 years ago.
I heard today the name and a couple of passages from this composer and Carl Reinecke. These lesser-known composers actually surprised me much more than a couple of big names that are contemporary with them!
We're playing this in my university's orchestra, and a friend of mine referred to this as "ooga booga music", and now that's all I think of when I hear this.
Duh................ That being said, I did have a high school senior student I taught, who MASTERED and memorized it all and won Milwaukee (Wisconsin) Youth Symphony Orchestra (MYSO) concerto competition. She worked up the Debussy Premier Rhapsody over the summer just to have something additional to accomplish before entering college in the fall. She went on to the U. of Minnesota, beat out all the undergrad students as an incoming freshman and sat behind two graduate students, one of which she said she was better than. By her sophomore year she was jobbing in Minneapolis/St. Paul and subbed in the Minnesota Symphony Orchestra. She was a ROCK SOLID musician and performer.
Hello! First of all thanks for uploading this and for your work! As a pianist who has to learn and play the accompaniment I really appreciate it. I wanted to ask you: have you decided yourself to split the piece into four movements or did you find that division in another source? I'm asking because the normal division I'm finding is 3 movements instead of 4 (even if it's a continuum movement). Just curious! Thanks again!
Can you preserve the name of instruments in full score? Every screen change the instrumental disposition... especially for the winds is annoying don't know immediately which instruments are playing. Thanks for your work, I really appreciate it
adding the instruments makes the score more difficult to read. I had to make a choice. Sorry for the inconvenience. Some of my older scores still have those listed but I felt it took away from the legibility.
Does anyone know where I can find sheet music of just the solo clarinet part for this concherto? I want to learn to play it but cannot seem to find the sheet music anywhere :') thanks
Well this was disappointing. Nielsen is a great symphonist in my book but I couldn't sit through the entire work. I tried but only managed to get to the third movement. My impression is that work lacks an overall architecture. Nielsen clearly struggles with the concerto form. The first movement starts with a plodding, clumsy theme. That seems to never grow into anything of value. It's influenced by Prokofiev but in my mind Prokofiev would have done more with it. There is a brief moment of beauty but is surrounded by the mundane. Second and Third movements are too abstract with many notes played but the movements don't go anywhere. It would have better if Nielsen suppressed this work because I think it diminishes his legacy. There are not many clarinet concertos in the canon. I would much prefer to listen to Copland if I wanted to have a 20th century piece with both beauty and abstraction together. He does it so much better.
What is your point again? The work has been published, recorded often, and is available here on RUclips. Heck, I spent valuable time on editing the video. Obviously it has more to offer than you ever can bring to the table.
Saying a 20th century composer struggles with form is sort of like saying a baker struggles with pasta. I mean, it might be true and in some context it might mean something, but its pretty irrelevant. Composers were dealing with other ideas by this time.

This is this the "Don’t hug me, I’m scared’ of clarinet concertos
Wow that is a really bright tone.

Absolutely wonderful.

You're welcome
thanks A LOT
Concert for snare drum?
At least in the US, Nielsen is rather unknown and way under appreciated. Thx for posting this. Great piece.
Not to me. He has my full attention. You are not aware that Nielsen's international reputation exists because of Leonard Bernstein and the NYPO?
@@andrewpetersen5272 possibly. Hadn't thought of that.
This concert extremely hard to play
Duh................

@@chrisk8187 Thanks?
Played this for my final Master recital.
Wish Nielsen had learnt to play the clarinet just to know how hard his piece was haha.
Very exciting! ❤️🔥🎼🎵👏☘️🇮🇪
Love the emojis
As far as I know is this concerto played only one time i Norway,in Bergen with Per Johansen as soloist and Olav Kielland as conductor.
Amazing
Thank you so much for posting this. Thanks Mark for your fabulous playing
God bless you and yours - Bill - UK
I wish there were more pieces where the bassoon actually matters like in this one
shostakovich symphony no 9 is basically a bassoon concerto
Bassoons usually have quite soloistic roles in Shostakovich, Stravinsky and sometimes Ravel's music.
@@realnigga19 the bassoon solo in the 4th movement is superb
Most enjoyable
Theme in a 1st movement is a copy of the Hallendaal's concerto grosso in d minor.
so badass
OMGg thank you so much!
Thaddäus whould be really proud of your performance. Rest of the world: No guitar, no drums, not interessted. So sad.
I only noticed after looking at the sounds and matching sound that this is for an A clarinet, not Bb.

Also, since there are no key signatures, it is difficult to work out what (for transposing instruments) the actual pitch is

Courage to win the battle!
