A Worthy Recording Project featuring Obscure
and Unknown works for Clarinet

The Forgotten Clarinet is a recording project of
esoteric French music for clarinet and piano
performed by David Gould and Taka Kigawa
The Forgotten Clarinet is my first foray into
recording music for clarinet and piano. Rather than
go out and make another recording of Poulenc, St.
Saens, or Debussy, I would like to share great
French music for the clarinet that rarely gets
played. These works are not even part of the college
recital circuit. They are in most cases truly
forgotten works.
I grew up in a family that had a great affinity for
the past. My father’s business and passion had us
collecting and repairing old cars and the ephemera
from a bygone era. We had the thrill of the hunt
instilled in us at swap meets, searching for the
rare fuel pump, or hunting for the promo clock from
a long gone tire maker. This instilled in me, the
musician, the desire to find musical treasures
heretofore lost or undiscovered. I would search in
an old teacher’s library, or at music stores,
library sales, or even at garage sales for sheet
music of neglected gems. Over the past 20 years I
have found works that fit the bill, and have had the
pleasure to perform many of them.
So what are these pieces already?
Rene de Boisdeffre (1838-1906) 3 pieces for clarinet
and piano, Henri Busser (1872-1973) a concert piece
called Cantegril, Paul Jeanjean edited and added and
piano part to a Rose (after Ferling) etude, Paul
Ladmirault (1877-1944) wrote a Sonata, Francis
Bousquet (1890-1942) wrote a Solo de Concours (that
was not used at the Paris Conservatory), Marc Delmas
(1885-1931) the Fantasie Itallienne, Andre Petiot
(1886-1973) wrote an accompaniment for another Rose
(after Ferling) etude, Marcel Mirouze (1906-1957)
had a Humouresque, Gaston Litaize (1909-1991) wrote
the Recitatif et theme varie, and Raymond Gallois
Montbrun (1918-1994) wrote the most popular piece of
this recording project, the Concertstucke in 1948.
Why French music you may ask? There are many ways to
answer, first is that the clarinet is a French
instrument, and has been heralded by 250 years of
French composers that have pushed the clarinetist’s
abilities, through contest pieces and the like.
Next, I studied in Paris, France for 3 years and
developed a love for the culture and the music.
Finally, I am convinced that the music I am
recording will enrich, or more appropriately,
“re-enrich” a repertoire for clarinet and piano
steeped in the long French legacy. The last is most
important, these pieces, which contribute greatly to
the French affection for the clarinet, should not
remain forgotten.
The money raised in this Kickstarter campaign will
help fund the recording, mixing, mastering and
production of the CD’s. The recording will take
place at Kean University’s Enlow Recital Hall with
Bove Audio recording, mixing, and mastering in early
May 2013.
The biggest challenge with this project will be in
post production. I have already booked the recital
hall and engineer. My producer has arranged all of
his travel plans. Taka and I have performed this
repertoire already twice and have been rehearsing
regularly since. The only delays could come with
editing and production, but I have arranged things
so that August and September will be devoted to
finishing the project. I then plan on replication of
the discs for early October. This timeline should
make the finished product easily deliverable by
December 2013.

encourage the creation of contemporary works, by finding and commissioning
original pieces by today’s composers.
The group have been dedicated pieces by Thierry Escaich, Bruno
Mantovani, Karol Beffa and Guillaume Connesson, and are due to record them in
2012. During the concert, the musicians take turns to play various clarinets,
giving each Quartet member time to engage with the audience.

Philharmonic on the award-winning series, Live

performs chamber music at the Strings in the Mountain Music Festival in
Steamboat, Colorado.
As a studio musician, Mr. Nuccio is featured on several movie soundtracks,
including Failure to Launch, The
Last Holiday, The Rookie, The Score, Intolerable Cruelty, Alamo, Pooh’s
Heffalump, Hitch, The Manchurian Candidate, and
numerous television commercials. He also performed on the Late
Show with David Letterman as well
as on the 2003 Grammy Awards.
In November 2006, Mr. Nuccio’s first CD, Opening

A Colorado native, Mark Nuccio holds a master’s degree from Northwestern
University, where he studied with the renowned pedagogue Robert Marcellus. He
received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Northern Colorado.
Beyond his active performing schedule, Mr. Nuccio is committed to training the
