The Potpourri, written like Spohr's concertos for clarinetist Johann Hermstedt, features difficult passagework in which Parisi falls behind pianist Francesco Bissanti; he also shows some technical struggles in the more flashy variations. Rocco Parisi is an Italian clarinetist who specializes in the bass clarinet; he gave the world premiere of Berio's Sequenza IX c. He plays what one bass clarinetist I knew used to call "the little clarinets" with a clear tone and a fluent technique, although the former thins out a little in the upper registers and the latter is taxed by Spohr's difficult writing. Moreover, there are ensemble problems: In several places, Parisi slows down to execute a technical passage, and Bissanti doesn't follow; in the first song, Sei still mein Herz, Parisi takes a ritardando that Bissanti ignores.
