This duet was written whilst I was exiled (self imposed- long story!) in Northern Argentina. I wrote it , recorded it, then improved it . I rinsed and repeated this cycle many times over my 8 years isolation enjoying the process of trying to achieve perfection!
This arrangement of Summertime for 2 Clarinets references some phrases of some - Stevie Wonder, Prince, Larry Adler and Gershwin himself - with great affection and gratitude.
The level is intermediate to advanced
My other Clarinet duets were also written during this time and with this care.

Liked the intervals in the second part
ItalyWell conceived! although I don't have a friend to play the duet, I enjoy playing both parts separately . Do you have a piano base for it ?
New ZealandPlayed it with a friend at a funeral. But while sombre it was very suitable. Many positive comments at the clever arrangement. Was most satisfying to be able to play a beautiful, well-loved tune in a new way that was still simple and accessible. Thankyou
United States..for one of my favorite tunes. Lots of unique lines in the chart. A challenge to adequately do it justice, but I have lots of time. Eventually want to have a friend try the parts so we can play both together. Thanks.
United StatesI entered the notation into Finale so I could play it as a duet with myself. Fun!
United StatesNick's arrangement of the Gershwin classic, Summertime, is outstanding. Challenging to be sure....but rewarding to play as a clarinet duet. JazzDuetShop consistently delivers content for musicians of all ages and abilities. JDS makes LEARNING fun by making PLAYING fun!
United StatesLove your arrangement!
LuxembourgIt would be great to have the 2 solo voices (1 & 2) for practice. Like mp3 download or else. Thanks a lot
United KingdomI thoroughly enjoyed learning and playing this piece with my wife. It starts of in a fairly straightforward manner, and then gets more complicated and difficult, with interesting harmonies. Learning it was a nice little 'lockdown' project.
United StatesI have been playing the clarinet duet of Summertime with a student in my studio and she absolutely loves it! Nick answers email quickly and is always willing to help. I will definitely be recommending students in my studio to pick up copies of his music for our lessons.
United StatesI really like your arrangement of Summertime for two clarinets. It is fun to play and I appreciate the fact that I could download it so easily. Thank you.
Germanyperfect to have your audio on youtube! My students like it! It’s not too easy and it’s interesting and pleasing! :-)
United StatesExcellent. I will definitely be purchasing more material.
United KingdomI think Nick's duets are fun to play and very original. My pupils and I enjoy them very much. The performances (demos and YouTube) are a very high standard of playing.
GermanyThis was my 1st contact. I can compare, I am quite experienced - as a member in different groups from duo to orchestra. Godd luck and success, Götz
United StatesI love this duet and will learn it with a friend
