After hearing Bartok's "Contrasts" about 45 years ago, I bought the clarinet score. I practiced it on guitar, where you can easily move up and down the frets. It's a good blues/funk/rock lick in the right place. But I give it to you here to try it. Practice it a few times, in whatever key you like, then try it in that key once, then one half step up and back. The accent should be on each E of measure 1. (in concert C below but written for A clarinet on the video)
PS. No guarantee I remembered it perfectly 45 years later: Here's the composition AND the score! (Thanks YouTube)
