Klengel’s concertino asks for a singing line that remains rhythmically tidy. Its technical writing is accessible enough for a developing player, but exposed enough to reveal uneven register changes and phrase endings.
The work is an effective first multi-section concert piece. It teaches the player to move between lyrical and more brilliant material without abandoning a consistent sound or tempo plan.
