Impromptu
Larsen, L

Impromptu is a short, bright, up-tempo piece commissioned in 1975 by KTCA Public Television (Minnesota), to be used as introduction music for a community news and information show. In conversations about what kind of music should reflect the personality of the half-hour show, 'optimism,' 'serious lightness,' and 'sense of positive outcome' were all given to me as goals for the sound of the music at the time a strange request for a serious, post-modern, 24-year-old newly minted composer! I composed Impromptu for flute, Bb clarinet, and bassoon. It s approximately one and a half minutes long, in ABA form, with mildly mixed meters (5/8, 3/8 and 6/8) set on a lively constant eighth note pulse.
