REVIEWS
From CD notes (Charles Russo recording)
This piece should be considered one highlight of Jacob's compositions, and as a
scholar wrote, "is of major significance in its contribution to the
chamber music repertoire for clarinet and strings."
From Music Web
Jacob treats all five players as equals. This admirable work has more than its
share of moments when the composer stills the heartbeat and holds the passage
of time in the cup of his hands.
