The American composer Elliott Carter wrote his clarinet concerto in 1996 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Ensemble InterContemporain, who premiered the work in January 1997 under the direction of Pierre Boulez. Alain Damiens was the soloist in this performance;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Elliott Carter - Clarinet Concerto )〕 his premiere recording of the work with the Ensemble InterContemporain under David Robertson was released in 1999. The concerto lasts just under 20 minutes and is in seven movements which play without a break: # Scherzando # Deciso # Tranquillo # Presto # Largo # Giocoso # Agitato As in many of Carter's later works, the full 18-man chamber orchestra rarely plays tutti; instead the clarinet soloist takes part in a sequence of dialogues with subsections of the orchestra (piano, harp and pitched percussion in the first movement; unpitched percussion in the second; muted brass in the third, and so on), into which the rest of the ensemble interjects occasional commentary.〔Notes to the DG recording of the work.〕 The concerto has received four commercial recordings; in addition to Damiens', recordings with Michael Collins, Simon Aldrich and Paul Meyer have also been released. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clarinet Concerto (Carter)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
