Deconstruction Blues was commissioned by clarinetist Guido Arbonelli, who asked 60 composers from around the world to write an unaccompanied work for any clarinet, 60 seconds in duration. Arbonelli included the work in a later, narrowed-down but still-considerable half-hour of music which he called "The Namaste Suite" in performance. Deconstruction Blues begins as a minor blues in 5/4 but, as the title suggests, this changes as the music progresses. The player is asked to perform some notes "slap tongued," a technique more associated with saxophones; the effect is something akin to a pitched "thunk." Makes a great encore!
