Zoltán Kodály
The clarinet excerpts from Kodály’s Dances of Galánta are rich in Hungarian folk character, showcasing the instrument’s versatility in both lyrical and virtuosic passages. These excerpts require a range of techniques, from smooth legato phrasing in the expressive melodies to rapid, articulated runs that capture the lively dance rhythms. The clarinetist must bring out subtle tempo fluctuations and dynamic contrasts, embodying the spirited ornamentation and improvisational feel that Kodály drew from traditional folk music.
