Interesting, do you have any information about these? I couldn't find them in the works list.
musicman:
I was thinking of transpostions. Originally his only clarinet concerto was written in A Major which would be a better key for orchestras. The B Flat version is for the B Flat clarinet. Now that I think about it, I know that I have heard it in both keys.

Wow! You guys are so...cool! I only know when I really like something! You guys understand WHY you like it! :o I wish I knew more about it! Now Eirik, I listened to the link you posted--very beautiful! I would listen to that while going to sleep or just relaxing!
Musicman, the Requiem? Yes! I do love it! I think you have said which instrument you play, but do you play the clarinet? You have perfect pitch..Does that work for singing as well as listening? I have heard a few people sing who have perfect pitch. (I told you I don't know a lot about music!) ;)
Eirik, do you play an instrument? I envy the more musically inclined! :P

Actually, I play the trombone and euphonium. Perfect pitch just means that if I hear a pitch I can usually tell which note it is without relying on relative pitch. Relative pitch is when someone hears one pitch, is told what it is, and then can name another pitch that they hear relative to it. Perfect pitch is genetic but must be developed over time. It in no way means that the person with it is always able to sing or play an instrument with perfect intonation. There are many obsticals to doing this. The advantage to having perfect pitch is looking at a melody and knowing exactly what it sounds like. Basically though, it just means that if someone plays any note on a piano I can turn around and play the same one without being told which one it was. But I'm definatelly not a singer.
