CLARINET AND PIANO

Humorous Contemporary Music for Clarinet and Piano

The clarinet is one of the most naturally expressive and comedic instruments in the classical world, capable of quick gestures, sly glissandi, and playful character shifts. This short piece by Lior Navok embraces that spirit with a humorous, light‑footed approach, offering performers a compact and entertaining addition to the modern clarinet‑and‑piano repertoire.
Perfect as an encore, a recital interlude, or a character piece that brings a smile to the audience.
