King of Prussia, PA — Following popular and critical acclaim for A Treasury of Bach Duets for Flute and Clarinet, composer and clarinetist Daniel Dorff has further expanded the repertoire for Flute and Clarinet duo, with A Treasury of Mozart Duets: 7 Familiar Favorites (414-41203 – Performance Score - $14.95). Featuring Mozart’s best-loved arias and instrumental themes, the works in this collection have been transcribed into complete-sounding idiomatic adaptations, equally suitable for recital use and just-for-fun duet read-throughs. This collection also features a scholarly preface about ornamentation, interpretation, and authentic performance practice. The collection includes works such as Overture to The Magic Flute and “Voi, che sapete” from The Marriage of Figaro.

 

Daniel Dorff was born in New Rochelle, NY; acclaim came early with First Prize in the Aspen Music Festival’s annual composers’ competition at age 18 for his Fantasy, Scherzo and Nocturne for saxophone quartet. Dorff received degrees in composition from Cornell and University of Pennsylvania; teachers included George Crumb, George Rochberg, Karel Husa, Henry Brant, Ralph Shapey, Elie Siegmeister, and Richard Wernick. He studied saxophone with Sigurd Rascher. In 1996, Dorff was named Composer-In-Residence for Symphony in C (formerly Haddonfield Symphony), in which he played bass clarinet from 1980 through 2002. Dorff’s works have been performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra, Baltimore Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony, Louisville Orchestra, Indianapolis Symphony, Detroit Symphony, Aspen Music Festival, Spoleto Festival, and Eastman Wind Ensemble, and many more.
