Opus 21
Opus 21
Imagine staying up until 5am every night for two weeks arranging works for clarinet and violin, reducing entire orchestral suites and Bach fugues with the hopes of busking with a violinist of your dreams. Then imagine manually inserting 207 pages into tight binder sleeves and manually punching individual holes on each and every page for coil binding—all throughout an entire 1,300km road trip to a provincial competition, with the hopes of delivering this score to this violinist—only for them to disappear and get "allergies" for the entire summer months. Then imagine setting your sights on a new violinist in the big city, only for a bubble tea proposal to be thwarted immediately. At least I am not Vivaldi (imagine writing 28 violin concerti for the same woman!). I will stick to my 21 selections instead, which would end up being dedicated to my clarinet professor, Joaquin Valdepeñas at the Glenn Gould School of Music, who (somehow) wedded a violinist.
