Adagio for Clarinet and Piano is a very slow, capricious piece, in 4/4 time with intermittent triple meter tempo. In composing the Adagio for Clarinet,
I strived for a low, mysterious, barely audible humming sound introduced by the clarinet and engaged by the piano in an intimate, leisurely, playful instrumental dialogue, analogous, perhaps, to a dark figure in a trench coat under a lamp-post on a hazy moon-lit night, engaged in a thoughtful soliloquy, and a Gauloises cigarette.
