from the Annals and Records VI: Erinnerungen - Memories (2005) - solo instrument by Teddy Abrams
This work was written to remember my clarinet teacher David Breeden, the Principal Clarinetist of the San Francisco Symphony. Mr. Breeden was a person whom I greatly admired as a musician, person, and as a friend. I am extraordinarily lucky to have worked with him for the past seven years, and all of the things that I have learned from him will stay with me forever. This piece was inspired by the way memories intertwine with our lives, and how they shape our thoughts, experiences, and characters... (more)

Beautiful
What can I say, it's perfect. Gripped from beginning to end.
To say anything else would be superfluous, however in order pass the review length rule I shall stop now.
from Liz
It's beautiful Teddy!
I don't understand why this review has to be thirty words long. That is very irritating. All I wanted to say was that it was beautiful.

Bravo!
By far Mr. Abrams' most poigniant and mature work, "Erinnerungen" is a musical marvel. One's mind reels at how a piece can be so accessable and enjoyable and yet at the same time be so meticulously intricate and well-crafted. Teddy's classical music reminds me of the pop music that the Beatles were able to create: simple, timeless, fun, and always written with unassuming brilliance. Teddy's style is a breath of fresh air in an era where many modern pieces are either too kitchy to be taken seriously or too pretentious to be enjoyed by anyone without a PhD.
And, might I add, the fact that Teddy Abrams is eighteen years old, blonde, and goregous makes his ability to compose a piece such as this all the more swoon-worthy. (I don't know WHY he hasn't posted a picture of himself, but if you'd like to see one it can be found here: http://pub.ucsf.edu/today/arts.php?news_id=200501149)
