Corigliano, John. (b. 1938). "Elegy (Clarinet Concerto)" - Autograph Musical Quotation Signed.
Neatly written AMQS in pencil by the American composer who has written out the beginning of the second movement, Elegy, from his Clarinet Concerto. One staff, six measures (clarinet part only). No date. Sheet from a 12-staff pad. 11 x 8 inches (28 x 20.5 cm). Horizontal fold; overall in very fine condition.
"Corigliano’s first period, which he described as a ‘tense, histrionic outgrowth of the 'clean' American sound of Barber, Copland, Harris and Schuman’, extends from the Violin Sonata (1963) through the choral symphony, A Dylan Thomas Trilogy (1960–76). The Oboe Concerto (1975) and, more definitively, the Clarinet Concerto (1977), introduced by Bernstein and the New York PO, inaugurated a change in style, abandoning an earlier restriction to conventional notation and embracing an ‘architectural’ method of composition."
