Claritunes for clarinet choir I wrote in summer 2019 for the Pinzgauer Klarinettenchor commissioned by the Musikum Salzburg. The approximately 15-minute work consists of four song-like character pieces. In the 1st movement, entitled "Variety of Clarionets", a cheerful, entertaining and varied, variety song of the marionettes caricatured by the varied clarinets is heard. In the 2nd movement, "Clarhinoceros," a ponderous waltz is danced by a monstrous mythical creature. In the 3rd movement, "Mirage," a mirage of dream visions emerges, and in the 4th movement, "Spring Dance," there is lively dancing and joyous celebration at a Hungarian spring festival.
