Jalousie: Gypsy Tango for Clarinet and Piano

Jalousie is a tango written by Danish composer Jacob Gade in 1925, originally scored for full orchestra. It soon became popular around the world and is today a classic in the modern repertoire, including many arrangements for various instruments and ensembles. This publication is the first for clarinet and piano, arranged by Paula Corley, former Pedagogy Chair for the International Clarinet Association, with piano accompaniment edited by Stephanie Bruning. The work consists of two themes the first a temperamental theme in D minor, followed by a lyrical section in D major, both with a typical tango rhythm. It became Gade's most popular and successful work, enjoying numerous radio broadcasts and recordings. The work was premiered as accompaniment for the Danish screening of the silent film, Don Q, Son of Zorro on September 14, 1925 under the baton of the composer.
