Ernst Krenek: 3 Short Pieces in Twelve-Tone Techniques: Clarinettes (Ensemble)

Krenek moved with ease through the various aesthetic and stylistic changes that marked the Twentieth century, taking what he considered the best features of each and fusing them into a new language all his own. These pieces aretaken from 'Twelve Short Pieces in the Twelve-Tone Technique for Piano' (catalogue number GS32750) and transcribed for an 8-part Clarinet Choir by Frank Erickson. They evoke, respectively 'Dancing Toys', a 'Peaceful Mood' and'Walking on a Stormy Day'.
