Hi all
Doing the hard 150 question trivia quiz again. Pretty sure of answer but
looking for proof.
What was the surname of the 19th-20th century composer who, during the
1940s, composed a clarinet concerto for jazz musician Woody Herman, with
the one-word title of the piece being derived from a jazz slang term for
the clarinet?
Had no trouble finding the Stravinsky concerto "Ebony" Spent a lot of time
looking for another and did not find one to fit question.
Can not find that Ebony is a nickname for a clarinet.
