The lecture recital was given on July 25, 1977. Transcriptions and arrangements for clarinet and piano of nineteenth-century Italian opera were popular during the virtuoso wind era and are representative of an important phase in the history of clarinet playing. Arias of Rossini and Verdi and a fantasia based on Rigoletto were performed during the lecture recital. In addition to the lecture recital, three other public recitals were performed, including solo compositions for clarinet and chamber works including clarinet.
