The distinguished clarinetist Rocco Parisi, known for his collaboration with Luciano Berio during the creation and premiere of Sequenza IXc, will present the first movement of Javier Pérez Garrido's Sonata Op.28a for bass clarinet at the 50th Anniversary of Clarinet Fest® in the United States, to be held in July.
Sonata No. 1, Op.28a for bass clarinet is a significant work consisting of seven movements with a minimalist essence, incorporating stylistic influences from classical music and other genres such as blues, jazz, Latin, and rock. Each movement evolves from a musical cell, transforming naturally and progressively. The first movement, Molto Allegro, stands out for its remarkable rhythmic work, built upon a continuous movement that never ceases.
