CLARKE, Rebecca - Shorter Pieces For Viola and Piano - Va PF
Dates for which no documentary source is cited were supplied by Clarke for my Rebecca Clarke:
A Thematic Catalo9ue ef HerWorks (City University of New York Graduate Center, 1977).
Lullaby (1909?)
Source: manuscript in ink overlaid with pencil emendations, many of which are wholly or partially
erased. The emendations may date from 1976, when Clarke brought out her manuscripts for cata-
loging. Emendations have been silently adopted only where they appear definite and serve a clear
purpose (e.g., to correct parallel fifths in mm. 37--40, or to extend the viola's final note from the
original ending at m. 5 3 to the end of the piece.)
Untitled (1917-18)
Source: manuscript in ink, with a single alteration shortening the viola slur in m. 30 by one note.
The manuscript originally consisted of eight pages on two folded sheets, but the sheets became sep-
arated while in Clarke's possession. In 1976, she presented only the outer sheet for cataloging, either
failing to notice the slightly odd join between the present mm. 27 and 71 or finding it plausible, and
in this truncated form the piece was circulated, performed, and recorded. The inner sheet was
recently discovered in a box of loose sketches and blank staff-paper found in a closet in Clarke's for-
mer apartment. This edition makes the-entire piece available for the first time in some decades.
As always, I am greatly indebted to Paul Coletti for his advice in the preparation of this edition, and
to Philip Thomas for his scrupulous notesetting. Any errors of transcription or interpretation are
entirely my own.
