Duration 7:00
’13 in 12 Extract’ for solo Bb clarinet is based on ’13 in 12′, a concertino for clarinet solo, 3 flutes, vibes and double bass, composed in 1977 and performed May 7 1983 by Pierre Lafay and ensemble, conducted by John Damsma, as part of the chamber music project Nieuwe Voorschriften at Groningen Oosterpoort. 13 in 12 is a parody on dodecaphony, or twelve tone music. 13 in 12 is Dutch, meaning ‘a dozen a dime’. In the solo part, there is a 13th note, a multiphonic. What to do with it? ’13 in 12 Extract’ is a collage of the highlights of the original piece.
