Productomschrijving

In his work Assonance for clarinet (1983), Jarrell describes the "states" of the instrument, so that the single clarinet appears in fact to be many different clarinets, rather in the style of Berio's Sequenzas. Taking, as he often does, a serial-sounding theme as his starting point, Jarrell then turns it round like an architectural design or a painter's sketch. This idea lies at the root of all the Assonances pieces, and gives rise to situations which begin but do not end, where a vision of the sound transmitted through the virtuosity of the instrumentalist alternates with the sophisticated musical style which is closer to an exaltation of ornamentation rather than any musical grammar. Jarrell departs, however, from the Berio model of the clarinet Sequenza in which the composer experiments with all the possibilities of the instrument, by developing its virtuality, although without revealing the workings. The music thus occupies the entire space of the score, and is guided by the constraints of the design to be unfurled, so that the clarinet sounds above and beyond its recognized path. Jarrell reins in the music, and draws up rules. On the other hand he multiplies the technical difficulties, because he reasons that it is useless to offer new special effects to musicians if they are unable to play them. The perfect sound stops where the player's problems begin. To combat this Jarrell blends styles, the exact with the inexact, the decided with the undecided, and the reliable with the distinctly wobbly. The composer stresses the fact that there are, for instance, two kinds of multiphonic sounds: those in brackets with an imprecise sound, and those without brackets which should be played very precisely. The question of the "same" music and "different" music strikes a particularly resonant chord in the timbre. If a style of play, a rhythmic motif or a melodic cell can be taken both for a desired sound and its opposite, this is because the syntax which underlies this vision is both flexible and strict, intuitive yet intellectual, improvised yet notated, both harmonic and serial. Assonance for solo clarinet is an emblematic work, and summarizes the mixture of constraints and freedoms within which Jarrell's works are hewn.
