A lot of people play on his mouthpieces, including many top professional players in the world, so he certainly has a lot of understanding of the physical aspect of the instrument.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The recital will consist of three distinct pieces, lasting only about 45 minutes. Then at 6:00pm, Hawkins will lead a masterclass on the instrument.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnyone can observe the masterclass,\u201d Wang said. \u201cIt\u2019s a great opportunity for our Middle Tennessee college students and high school students to attend. If they want to see what the clarinet can do, this concert basically features three pieces that showcases all the possibility of expression that the clarinet can deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The evening\u2019s program will feature French composer Francis Poulenc\u2019s \u201cSonata for Clarinet and Piano.\u201d Then Hawkins will perform composer Aaron Helgeson\u2019s \u201cA Place Towards Other Places.\u201d The mini-recital will end with Wang joining Hawkins for Amilcare Ponchielli\u2019s \u201cIl Convegno.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last piece is by Ponchielli, a Romantic Italian composer from the 19th century,\u201d Wang said. \u201cHe wrote some very successful operas.
