Karlheinz Stockhausen
In Freundschaft
*2022 Stock.* The Stockhausen Edition no. 105 contains chamber works recorded between 2011-15. In Freundschaft was written as a clarinet solo for (and dedicated to) woodwind player Suzanne Stephens for her birthday and was first premiered by her in 1978, though a flute version was performed earlier during Stephens' actual birthday celebration. In the following years, Stockhausen composed versions for many more instruments, including recorder, oboe, bassoon (w. teddy bear costume), basset horn, bass clarinet, horn, contra-bass, soprano saxophone, tuba, cello, violin, viola, trumpet, and trombone. For this reason, it's probably one of the most performed of Stockhausen's pieces, at least for solo recitals. - Stockhausenspace.blogspot.com
