Aaron Copland's Concerto for Clarinet and String Orchestra, with Harp and Piano evokes jazz and Brazilian styles, and dances such as the waltz, through rhythm, melody, and harmony. This is not a jazz or Brazilian composition, it is a classical work that evokes these styles. In this dissertation, I turn to topic theory, which is a method for exploring previously existing music in a classical work. A topic is an external reference to another style or genre, that an audience might reasonably be able to recognize.Performers have debated whether it is appropriate to interpret this work in a way that borrows stylistic features from jazz or Brazilian music. I present a more nuanced understanding of this piece and how it relates to and draws on this wide range of non-classical performance styles, which I hope in turn will provide some more informed context for these conversations about interpretation. Topic theory serves as an analytical tool for understanding Copland's use of non-classical styles and how his evocation of these styles interact with one another in the concerto.I argue that this work can be understood as a dialogue among dance styles. I use works by authors such as Samuel Floyd Jr., Peter Burkholder, the composer himself, and other scholars to explore the topics of the waltz, frevo, choro, samba, foxtrot, Charleston, boogie woogie, and ragtime. I reference melodies from Copland's sketches that include the "Pas de deux," "Autumn Sequence," and "Winter Nocturne." I refer to vocabulary such as call and response, slap bass, smear/glissando, accretion technique, rapidly shifting meters, and polyrhythms to support my argument that topic theory can be used to understand Copland's evocation of non-classical styles in the concerto. This work contributes to the conversations on topic theory in the twentieth-century, uses of jazz and Brazilian music in classical works, Copland's engagement with non-classical styles, and performance ideas for clarinetists.
