"Arabesque" by Samuel R. Hazo is presented here as the Bb Clarinet 1 part for concert band. Published by Hal Leonard, this edition provides the principal clarinet part for the ensemble.
The score features a one-flat key signature and opens with an initial expression marking of "Mysteriously." At measure 15, the character shifts to "With Drive and Flair," introducing fast technical passages characterized by triplets, frequent trills, and heavy accents. The notation includes dynamic contrasts ranging from mezzo-forte to fortissimo, alongside visible time signature changes to 6/4 and 4/4 later in the excerpt.
A printed "div." instruction appears at measure 47, indicating a split in the clarinet section. Additionally, a specific performance note instructs the player to "Clap" at measure 55.
