Diabelli Project 206 - Duet for Clarinet and Marimba, Part 3

The Diabelli Project is about offering my weekly flash-composition sketches freely to all. Like Antonio Diabelli's theme, these sketches aren't great music. But perhaps (as in Diabelli's case) there's a Beethoven out there who can do great things with them.

This is the third installment of my Clarinet and Marimba Duet. Writing in 10-minute sessions is both liberating and limiting. The time limit can be frustrating, as sometimes I want to continue.

However, by waiting a week between sessions, I often have a fresh take on the music. Both last week and this week's sketch went in directions I hadn't thought of when I started. In this case (beginning the second system), the marimba steps into the spotlight for a while.

How long is that while? Perhaps I'll have a better idea next week..

As always, you can use any or all of the posted Diabelli Project sketches as you wish for free. Just be sure to share the results. I'm always curious to see what direction someone else can take this material.
