Witold Lutoslawski wrote his 5 Dance Preludes for clarinet and piano in 1954, and later transcribed it for full orchestra. The movements are based on Polish dance rhythms, with alternating time signatures within each dance to reflect the irregular nature of Polish folk music. The Preludes have become a popular cornerstone of the clarinet repertoire, often heard in recital performances.
