André Messager (1853-1929) composed Solo De Concours for Clarinet in 1899 as a Paris Conservatoire Contest piece. Composed in three sections the cheerful first part contains triplet figures by the Clarinet that can easily be heard over the Orchestra. The second part has a strong French melody that can be heard as an exchange between the Clarinet and the Orchestra. A cadenza followed by trills ends this section and leads to the final part where the Clarinet stands out from the Orchestra with a rich melodic energy. André Messager is a previous student of Gabriel Fauré and CamilleSaint-Saëns who wrote numerous operas operettas and ballets. He was later appointed Commander of the Legion d’Honneur.
