MATE BEKAVAC, clarinet
(Slovenia)
Solo Recital
Programme: Johann Sebastian Bach, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Sigrfid Karg-Elert, Igor Stravinski, Krzysztof Penderecki, Elliot Carter
Music for a single, unaccompanied melodic instrument holds a special magic. In the Baroque this repertoire was quite exceptional, since thorough bass had become an almost indispensable basis for composition. In the 19th Century, Bach’s violin sonatas and partitas seemed so unusual that many musicians performed them with added piano parts. This tradition continued into the first decades of the 20th Century and only then more composers started writing for solo string or wind instruments. Clarinet virtuoso Mate Bekavac combines original works and his own transcriptions of 18th- and 20th-century music.
