Помогите: нужна информация по поводу истории создания Сонаты Бернстайна для кларнета и фортепиано. Знаю только, что написана она в 1941-42 гг. а вот при каких обстоятельствах, в каком контексте, где, зачем, что он сам о ней говорил, кто и где первый исполнил и т. п. Очень нужно, причём довольно срочно. Спасите-помогите!

Hi - you'll find a lot of background information about Bernstein on the official website linked from this page, and for the context in which it was written, Humphrey Burton's biography is very useful. As for the Clarinet Sonata itself, what kind of things do you want to know? It was completed in 1942 and is dedicated to David Oppenheim. According to the Bernstein website the first performance was in April 1942 at the Institute of Modern Art, Boston with David Glazer, clarinet and Bernstein himself at the piano. The first recording was made the following year, with David Oppenheim playing the clarinet, and Bernstein again at the piano. You can hear this performance as it has been reissued by Pearl on GEMM CD 9279.
The other things to note would probably include when the piece was written (in the middle of World War II) and the musical influences on the young Bernstein. One that seems particularly strong in this piece is Hindemith.
