Introduzione ed Allegro

Many of the etudes for the school I Am Studying Clarinet I-IV, were written in the form of songs. One needs to know that all the etudes, which contain dynamic and agogic signature, were arranged for the piano accompaniment by professor Peričić and I and published in a special book Melodious studies with piano (I-II). So, young musicians have a double benefit when practicing:

1. they are making progress and at the same time
2. preparing a new piece for their future performances.

That is the case with down performed etude No. 44 in my school for clarinet I Am Studying Clarinet IV. We called it Introduzione ed Allegro and it can be used as an etude, and if you do it better, as a piece to perform. Introduction ed Allegro is in my book Melodious studies with piano II.

Milica Jovanović, clarinet (elementary music school,
fourth grade, class of professor Radivoj Lazić).
Piano accompaniment: Jelena Cvetković, professor.
