Contributors

Program

Igor Stravinsky → Three Pieces for Clarinet Solo, III
Robert C. Bauer → Intermezzo
Robert C. Bauer → Etude pulmonaire
Heather Frasch → quietly breathing for bass clarinet and live electronics
Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy → Andante from the Clarinet Sonata in E flat major
Sebastian Fagerlund → Breath. Trio for clarinet, violoncello and accordion

The final concert is the examination of the artistic performance as part of the artistic-scientific doctorate "Physiological studies on breathing strategies in clarinet playing" at the Collège Glarean.

The concert will feature works directly related to the theme of breath: Works that are particularly challenging in terms of breathing technique, works that focus on breath through improvisational or noisy elements as well as two compositions by Prof. Robert C. Bauer, which were composed for Yannick Trares as part of this research project.

The concert is part of an artistic doctoral project at the College of Music Freiburg, which examines and artistically classifies lung ventilation during clarinet playing under various breathing conditions. The disputation will take place directly afterwards at 6:30 pm, also in the Chamber Music Hall.
