Musician's or Publisher's Notes

 

Ingenuidad (‘Naivety’), Op. 8           Miguel Yuste (1870-1947)

Miguel Yuste can be regarded as “one of the ‘fathers’ of Spanish clarinet playing”. He was principal clarinetist at the Teatro Real and clarinet professor at the Real Conservatorio Superior de Música de Madrid for almost thirty years (1909-1936). All of Yuste’s works for clarinet and piano are written for B-flat clarinet and are one movement in length. None of the available manuscripts supply dates of composition, though most of his clarinet works were written for auditions and exams at the Madrid Conservatory.

Ingenuidad is perhaps his most notable work, which displays a Neo-Romantic style clearly influenced by zarzuela (a Spanish operatic genre).            Notes courtesy of Malena McLaren
