I've performed this piece several times now, and I can tell you that the most critical thing you can do is listen to Artie Shaw performances of it. In an older print edition, there is a notice at the top advising the performer that these notes are only a. Guide, and the authentic concerto should be listened to in order to understand the piece. Technically the piece is not that difficult, but you should have a good understanding of the style. Great piece, though, and impressive as hell when done right.

I bought this sheet music because a university student of mine wanted to learn to play this solo. I have gotten so excited to learn it, I may just have to find some venue to perform it in the near future! We have yet to play this with piano, but. The clarinet part is great in itself. John Bruce Yeh has a great recording of the Shaw Concerto if you prefer someone with a more pure, traditional sound than that jazzy quality of Artie Shaw himself. The editor did a great job of putting in the jazz elements that you hear in recordings of Artie Shaw and make it easier to understand how the piece should be performed. I'm lovin' it! 43 of 81 people found this review helpful. Was this review useful? • 5 Mike Location: Philadelphia, PA Difficulty Level: Intermediate/advanced • 2008-01-21 00:00:00.0 98% Accurate.
