The long-standing duo of Michael Collins (clarinet) and Michael McHale (piano) bring some of the best loved works for clarinet and piano to Perth. Brahms fell in the love with the clarinet late in his life and was inspired to write two glorious sonatas for his friend Richard M眉hlfeld. Debussy's 'Premiere Rhapsodie' was written in more practical circumstances as a competition piece at the Paris Conservatoire but he modestly admitted that it was one of the most pleasing pieces he had ever written. Polish-American Robert Muczynski was a pianist-composer and concentrated his writing on small chamber works. Time Pieces is one of several short works loved by woodwind players and frequently performed in recital.

Debussy: Premi猫re rhapsodie
Muczynski: Time Pieces for Clarinet and Piano, Op. 43
