Ballad for cello and piano by Linda Catlin Smith. Performed Jan 12, 2017 at the Canadian Music Centre, Toronto. Paul Pulford - Cello, Cheryl Duvall - piano.

Ballad - Linda Catlin-Smith

Enjoy the slightly hebraic touch of the second movement of Felix Mendelssohn's Clarinet sonata, a work written in 1824 dedicated to the German virtuoso Heinrich Baermann. 

Played on a 12-keyed copy of a Grenser clarinet made in Spain by the maker Laura Schoenherr in 2015 and a copy of an early 19th century fortepiano made by Thomas and Barbara Wolf in 1998.
