The Sonatina for clarinette and piano has been composed for didactic purposes, at a clarinette teacher's request. It is a didactic work as it implies both the clarinetteist and the pianist to be sufficiently familiar to tonal harmony. The piece is composed in a free style, four movements linked to one another so that it can be intended as an open form. It does not demand any particular technical skill, but a good training in chamber music.
