In Review The Friday morning, July 22, recitals began with Ching-chun Lin, clarinet (Taiwan) and Jen-Yi Wang on piano playing the fun Horovitz Sonatina in an excellent performance. Hakon Stodle, clarinet (Norway) and Tomoko Kaihoko, piano, played a nationalistic piece by Ketil Vea titled Suite for clarinet and piano. It was well done. At mid-morning the Vintage Quartet from Portugal took the stage. Young members Iva Barbosa, Candida Oliveira, B ♭ clarinets, José Eduardo Gomes, basset horn and B ♭ clarinet, and Ricardo Alves, bass clarinet played a fabulous program featuring the quartet works of Paul Harvey, Jean Françaix, and Portuguese music arranged by Victor de Faria. Bravo to this group who played with lots of style and passion. Their warm ovation was treated with an encore written by Paquito D’Rivera. Charles Neidich’s SRO master class, “Analysis, Expression and Technique — Three Sides of the Same Coin,” featured Young Artist Competition participants Alexey Gorokholinsky (Russia), Sae-rom Kim (Korea) and Naoko Danno (Japan). His lovely wife, Ayako Oshima, ably assisted him for translation. Neidich focused his remarks on an analysis of the music and the composer’s intentions using harmonic and line analysis (e.g., using different means of expression according to the harmony). Performers were asked to keep the intensity throughout the line or phrase with subtle differences for contrasting phrases. He encouraged wind players to compare their use of air to what string players do for attacks and swelling. He also noted the importance of the accompaniment along with the soloist to complete the emotional impact of the entire passage. THE INTERNATIONAL CLARINET ASSOCIATION CLARINETFEST® 2005 TAMA, TOKYO, JAPAN JULY 17–24, 2005, PART II by Kelly Johnson and Alan E. Stanek He asked students to consider the questions, “Where does the melody go and when it does, how could the composer have done it differently that wouldn’t have been as dramatic or as beautiful?” He often remarked, “Don’t play long tones like a ‘door bell.’” Neidich encouraged participants to be energetic, passionate, aggressive and sensitive. The I.C.A. Board of Directors Recital began mid-morning. It is always fun to hear the current leaders of our organization play to realize that in addition to running the I.C.A, they are top-notch performers as well. This year did not disappoint. Michael Galván, current president, expertly played the exciting Lutoslawski Dance Preludes with pianist Naoko Endo. Lee Livengood, president-elect, followed with pianist Melissa Livengood for a beautiful rendition of the second and third movements of the Horovitz Sonatina. Kristina Belisle, secretary, did an excellent job with the difficult Gra for clarinet alone by Elliot Carter. Rose Sperrazza, executive director, played the very unique Lee Thimmig Stanzas, Book XIV with great style. Diane Barger, treasurer, wowed the audience with her fantastic technique and tone on the E ♭ clarinet by playing Giacomo Panizza’s Ballabile con Variazioni aus dem Ballett “Ettore Fieramosca” with pianist Yuki Nakajima. Robert Walzel, past president, ended this wonderful program with a fast, fun, and energetic performance of Simon Sargon’s Klez Muzik. Editor of The Clarinet, James Gillespie, was given The Awardee Recital and performed with his former student and the host of the I.C.A. ClarinetFest® from last summer, Marguerite Baker, clarinet, and Yuki Nakajima, piano. The opening selection, a duet for two clarinets titled Views of the Blues by Gordon Lewin, was a terrific change of pace from the music heard at the convention so far, and Gillespie and Baker matched beautifully. Gillespie then played a brand-new clarinet and piano version of “Viktor’s Theme” from the film The Terminal by John Williams. This piece, which is fun and accessible for any audience, will soon be available for purchase through Hal Leonard. The final duet, Gary Schocker’s Sonata for Two Clarinets, was a fun and fitting end to the recital. After the I.C.A. business meeting, the hosts of the Atlanta, Georgia 2006 ClarinetFest® took the stage. The Fountain City Ensemble kicked off the program with the exciting new piece titled Found Objects by award-winning composer J.M. David. Lisa Oberlander showed her dazzling technique on B ♭ and bass clarinets in this four-movement piece. Jeffery Olson ably performed Paul Richards’ Magic Forest Scenes for solo clarinet (2000). Joseph Eller presented Busoni’s obscure but beautiful composition, Elegia, and Laurence Sherr’s Duo Concertante for Clarinet and Piano. D. Ray McClellan programmed two wonderful works, Domenico Scarlatti’s “Andante e cantabile” from the Sonata in A Major, K. 209 and Ernest Chausson’s Andante and Allegro. Eller and McClellan concluded the recital with Mendelssohn’s Konzertstucke No. 1 in F minor, Op. 11. An early afternoon recital featured several Japanese students of Jacques Lancelot. Ayako Oshima performed Joseph Prinzer’s Duo Concertante from the Lancelot Collection, and Shigeru Ikushima and Tadayoshi Takeda gave a fine reading of Devienne’s Sonate No. 2 for two clarinets and clavier. Kazuko Ninomiya rendered Pierné’s Canzonetta. JCS President, Koichi Hamanaka, played the ever-beautiful Debussy Première Rhapsodie, and a clarinet sextet with Kenji Matsumoto, Keiichi Atsuta, Yuji Furusawa, Ikuko Nihio, Hisae Kori and Tomohio Owada gave us the enjoyable En Famille of Raymond Loucheur (see photo 1). Toru Hora was the commentator with Naoko Ishibashi at the piano and harpsichord. Richard Fletcher, clarinet, Kristine Fletcher, bassoon and Barbara Wimunc- Pearson, piano, make up Clearly Three, a trio from the U.S.A. Their recital treated their audience to Benjamin Gutiérrez’s Trio (1987) and Ivana Loudová’s Italské (Italian) Trio (see photo 2). Page 40 THE CLARINET

Kenji Matsumoto joined Arrignon for a beautiful performance of Poulenc’s Sonate for two clarinets (see photo 3). Then a real change of pace occurred. Remembering his first appearance at the 1986 I.C.S. Conference in Seattle and again at the 1996 Paris ClarinetFest®, 76-year-old-jazz clarinetist, Eiji Kitamura, continues to inspire audiences with his big sound and tasty riffs. His renditions of “Memories of You” and “Begin the Beguine” brought the house down, requiring two encores. His inspiration came from a 1957 jazz session with Benny Goodman when Goodman came to Japan as a cultural ambassador. Thanks, Eiji, for the “memories” (see photo 4). One of the newest great clarinetists on the world scene is Jean-Daniel Bugaj, winner of the 1st Prix du Conservatoire Paris.
