Clarinet & Saxophone, one of the leading magazines for the clarinet in the world, has tributed the piece in its autumn issue with some extraordinary kudos! Praising it as a ‘sensational, seasonal showpiece’, the author goes even further and states that ‘… if you are looking for a simple little piece to sight-read to your grandma on Christmas day after a few glasses of sherry, be warned, this piece is not for the faint-hearted!’. It is a ‘superbly crafted little piece’ that requires technically powerful performer able to deliver number of extended techniques indicated in the score. The Magazine is distributed across the globe and is the flagship outlet of the CASS – The Clarinet & Saxophone Society of Great Britain. It should also be mentioned that this is the first clarinet piece ever by a Croatian composer/clarinetist to be featured in the Magazine. Order sheet music here and read the whole review by Mr. Michael Pearse here ‘…sensational, seasonal showpiece of considerable worth and a welcome addition to the repertory.’

M.Paar inspiringly talks about the disposition of man, the concept of jazz, the relation between classical and entertaining, the digital era and its implications, musical composition, and journalism. A dynamic conversation reveals complex and highly defined attitudes of this young artist whose reflections go into thematically different areas. About the gap between classical and entertaining M.Paar says: “…it is impossible to ignore the quality of the musical being, no matter what genre it comes from”, whereas about himself as a composer he states: “…musical composition meets my other inclination which I as a reproductive musician am not able to respond to adequately.” When it comes to the matter he is being occupied with M.Paar is very explicit: “When I devote myself to something, I devote myself completely, without a compromise, and with all my being. The result of this is my aspiration towards perfection and virtuosity in the widest meaning of the word, so the average always comes too heavily upon me.” In the end he concludes in the spirit of the homo universalis: “I strongly believe that a human being as such should feel called upon to use all his resources as to finally develop his potentials into concrete and articulate skills.” Read the entire interview.

Rimsky-Korsakov. His performance drew enthusiastic applause from the audience.”
