When I compose, I try to identify myself with the instrument for which I write. Even if at first sight composing for a solo instrument appears easier, it is actually more difficult than to compose for orchestral ensembles. The composer has to apply parameters generally attributed to an ensemble or to a large orchestra (melody, harmony, polyphony, rhythm, register and other musical parameters) to the single instrument at the composer’s disposal. I also take into consideration the evolution of instruments and their techniques: A lot of features impossible to be performed some decades ago are easily accomplished today! INCANTATION for Clarinet Solo applies an idiomatic writing for the clarinet. Some Clarinet Techniques used in INCANTATION include: Tonguing (German: Flatterzunge); Double and triple tonguing; Flutter-Tonguing; Slap Tonguing; Growl; Glissando; Vibrato; Tremolo; Multiphonics; Portamento.
