| Summary: | 碩士 === 東吳大學 === 音樂學系 === 97 === Alec Templeton(1909-1963) was an English composer and pianist. Blind from birth, he displayed musical talent at a young age. From1921-1935 he did a series of musical programs for the BBC；he also studied at the Royal Academy of music and the Royal College of Music. Settled in the U.S. in 1935 and performed widely with orchestras and on the radio. He was best known for music parodies of specific classical styles, as in“Bach Goes to Town”.He also composed a number serious works, including piano concerto, a piano method and of “Pocket Size Sonata No. 1 for Clarinet and Piano”.The three movement titles “Improvisation”,“Modal Blues”,“In Rhythm”indicate a jazz style and provide a great opportunity for students interested in jazz clarinet playing. The dissertation included three sections. The first section introduced the composer’s life, musical style, historical background, and the relationship between the jazz music and the composer’s musical development. The second section analyzed the Pocket Size Sonata for Clarinet No. 1 from the motif and structure. The third section discussed the performance difficulties based on the previous analysis. Fanally, I compared all different kinds of recordings to find out practical solutions for the clarinetists who hope to perform this piece in the future.
