Rollick & Romp for Solo Clarinet is a light-heartened antic adventure that reminds me of our cat, Teddy, who loves to play very athletically, chasing his toys and running from room to room, jumping in amazing leaps, and then pausing with feinted indifference until he slinks back to pounce again.
An adaptation for Solo Cello was made in 2012 for cellist Suzanne Mueller, who gave the premiere performance at the Old Westbury Gardens on July 15, 2012. Mueller recorded the cello solo for her 2013 CD of works for solo cello, Solitaire.
