Program Notes
Suite in Jazz Style is, as its name suggests, inspired by jazz. Not a "pure" kind of jazz, but a jazz as seen through the eyes of a layman as myself, therefore without any taboos or dogmas attached. My aim was primarily to create music which would be pleasant to play and listen to, without great pretentiousness, and for that I choose the instrumental means I knew best at the time: the clarinet. The order of composition was exactly the reverse of the final order of the movements of the suite, and the name of the work derives from the title of the last movement, which was once considered as an autonomous piece. This is also what I call my "Op.1", the first work which I consider worthy of lisitng in my catalog.
