Dr. Malena McLaren joins me to discuss her decades-long passion project of discovering little-known Spanish clarinet works, their characteristics, and the stories behind their composers.

This information is critical for composers wanting to integrate Spanish influences into their compositions, as well as musicians wanting to perform this music with appropriate stylistic nuances.

Topics Include:

• Malena’s journey to Spain to find Yuste’s music

• Miguel Yuste’s Life

• Characteristics of Spanish Music: Rhythmic Elements, Melodic Elements, Harmonic Elements

• Spanish clarinetists to listen to

• Where to find Yuste’s Music

• Other Spanish composers to listen to
