Edition Schott
"Point Forms". (d'après Kandinsky). basset clarinet in A or clarinet in A and piano. Partition et parties.

Inspired by a group of five diagrams found in Kandinsky's book Point and Line and Plane, 'Point Forms' takes Kandinsky's use of words such as 'stippled', 'sprayed' and 'compact' as keys to unlock new musical textures. Motifs intertwine with each other leading to organic developments whilst the unusual timbre of the bassett clarinet is explored through extended techniques. 'Point Forms' was written for clarinettist Mark Simpson, who has recorded the work for NMC (NMC D 139).
An alternative part for Clarinet in A is included. The piano score is left unchanged between both versions. Besetzung : basset clarinet in A or clarinet in A and piano
