Does anybody know Nino Rota's 'Sonata in D' for A clarinet?

Did you like it?
What level is it?
Is there a site on the net where I can listen to it, or perhaps go through some pages?

Lovely. Heard a version on the website Classic Cat. Must look up the music soon.

Yep. Same one I heard. But not all of the movement. Just a minute or two for sample. Beautiful clarinet, though.

Indeed, nice clarinet sound. I believe the piece is technically not extremely difficult, right? That means I could work a lot on character and tone colour. Hmm, sounds exactly like a good piece for me.

I also found this piece from a trio for cello, clarinet and piano by Nino Rota:

Well Live and Learn. Nino Rota wrote the music for "8 1/2" and "The Godfather" main theme, etc etc etc . And I never even heard of the guy 'til now. I haven't been paying attention.
