Una Sonrisa means “A Smile”, and that’s exactly what this joyful, uplifting composition is meant to inspire!
Originally commissioned by the legendary clarinetist and King of Klezmer, Giora Feidman, the piece features a free, atmospheric introduction, a lively and spirited Freylekh in traditional Klezmer style, and a lyrical middle section, offering plenty of musical variety and sheer joy of playing.
This edition for bass clarinet and cello also leaves room for your own musical ideas and improvisation. For those who prefer to play from sheet music, a fully written-out solo is included.

Your music is my little "gas station" in the stressful everyday life. Sometimes it corresponds with my melancholy, sometimes it elicits a laugh from me. There is a lot of lightness in it for me and at the same time a pleasant depth.
