description In exploring the South African Clarinet Concerto, this discourse focusses on nine pieces that have been written within this genre and within the South African context. With this in mind, the aim is to look at each of these works, and then examine them from their points of origin, through to their stylistic conception and their musical characterisation. Up to this point, there has been very little discourse, almost none in fact, that has focussed on this genre within the South African Classical music domain, and as such this research hopes to break some ground by taking this broad look at the clarinet concerto genre from a local standpoint. While at the same time bringing insights and reflections upon these pieces from the composer's points of view, and then commenting and analysing the formal structure and harmonic language they contain. Ultimately, by examining all the sides of this musical story, and by keeping in mind the historical context and more in-depth examinations of the solo clarinet parts, this aspiringly ground-breaking discussion looks towards highlighting what amounts to a much undervalued genre within South African Music.
