C1678: 18 Advanced
Etudes for the Clarinet by Paul
Jeanjean edited by Charles Neidich. Lauren Keiser Music Publishing,
2010, SS, 64 pages + 2 CDs. Jeanjean provided wonderfully detailed
directions for his etudes. Charles Neidich has, by and large, left what
he has written and have only brought Jeanjean's notation more into
accord with modern conventions; e.g. that accidentals within a measure
generally do not transpose octaves. This edition's notes at the end of
the book explain the various modern chords and scales (augmented
chords, 9th chords, whole tone scales for instance) he used in each of
his etudes. It also includes a page of useful fingerings and a page of
French musical terms. The noteworthy feature of this edition is the
recording of Charles Neidich's performance of the etudes. Rather than
clutter Jeanjean's already expressively notated scores with still more
markings, the recording offers, as a window into the modern, yet
romantic style of the etudes and as models of the kind of performance
to which the student should aspire. |

The commonly required orchestra audition excerpts have been worked into difficult technical etudes which, if practiced thoroughly, should help in learning the original materials. The etudes are based on Kodaly Dances of Galanta; Borodin Polovtsian Dances; Strauss Zigeunerbaron and Rosenkavalier; Rossini Overture to Semiramis and Barber of Seville; Rimsky-Korasakov Golden Rooster and Scheherazade; Wagner Tannhäuser , Meistersinger, and Götterdämmerung; Leoncavallo Bajazzo; Prokofiev Peter and the Wolf; Mozart Gran Partita; Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4 and Nutcraker; Smetana The Bartered Bride; Lehar Der Graf von Luxemburg; Shostakovich Symphony No. 9; Stravinsky Petrouchka; Mendelssohn Midsummer Night's Dream; and Schumann Symphony No. 1.

The noteworthy feature of this edition is the recording included with Charles Neidich's performances of the Caprices. Rather than clutter Cavallini's already expressively notated scores with still more markings, this edition offers the recording as a window into the "bel canto" style of the etudes and as models of the kind of performance to which the student should aspire. This book includes a page of suggested fingerings and a two page glossary of Italian musical terms. |

edition by Rob
Patterson. Theodore Presser Co., 2014/2017, SB, 150 pages. While not a

the first and only method for clarinetists to master the process of
"chunking" (working on small groups of notes at a time) as a practice
technique. Through exploration of technical studies, etudes, preludes,
cadenzas, and orchestral excerpts, the clarinetist is introduced to

development. Exercises for articulatiom, intonation, dynamics, and tone
development are also integrated into the innovative curriculum. Click

lines for the clarinet, often because of the various register color
changes and the instrument's convenient extended range. The
exercises in this book are intended to support and extend the
technical expertise of students and professionals required to
perform this modern music. The chords are shown before the exercises
but not identified. (Note: In late 2010 the title of this book was
revised with the addition of the word "Advanced.") There is also an Intermediate Level book. |

C651: Altissimo Studies for
Clarinet 90 Melodious
Studies by Thomas J. Filas transcribed for the clarinet by William R.
Higgins.
Carl Fischer, 2005, SS, 32 pages. In today’s contemporary
literature,
the clarinetist is obligated to play in the altissimo register more
often and for longer phrases than ever before. For this reason,
clarinetists need to be as proficient and relaxed in the altissimo
register as they are in the chalumeau and clarion registers. This
edition offers ninety exercises of Thomas J. Filas altissimo flute
etudes, transcribed in keys that focus on extending the
clarinet’s
range gradually from D6 to A6. They are short, musically enjoyable, and
extremely effective for practicing altissimo studies. |

Carl Baermann's Celebrated Method for Clarinet Part 3
by Carl Baermann revised and edited by Jack Snavely. Kendor Music,
1989,
SB, 115 pages. This is Jack Snavely's version of Part three of the
Baermann Method, Daily Studies, consisting
primarily of scale and chord studies. This book is more like David
Hite's Foundation Studies (C131) than the Langenus
or Bettoney editions. Featuring scale, arpeggio, interval and pattern
studies in all major and minor keys, this modern edition of the classic
Baermann method reorganizes exercises according to key for a more
logical study sequence. In addition, certain patterns and contemporary
chordal studies have been added to make the material more complete,
along with exercises in the keys of C-sharp and C-flat that were not
originally included in Baermann's 19th-century opus. All music is
digitally engraved for ease of reading, and the plastic binding ensures
that the book stays open on a music stand. It also includes some
suggested fingerings but they are only presented in the music once so
the text is not cluttered. |

C2464: Groove Connection Clarinet
(Volume 2)
by Klaus Dickbauer. Universal Edition, 2016, SS, 44 pages + CD. Klaus
Dickbauer believes that scales can be fun. His modern approach to
elementary technique can be a highly effective training tool for
developing improvisation skills. In the first volume, Dickbauer covered
major scales, triads, and interval exercises, combined with groovy
beats, in a fresh and contemporary way. He now continues his
well-thought-out approach to scales with a concentration on Dorian,
Mixolydian, pentatonic, and blues scales, the perfect tools for
building first improvisation skills. Methodically sound exercises train
students in patterns and motifs to equip them with a sense of
confidence and an appetite for learning the art of improvisation. Some
of the exercieses have three parts. The CD will be a valuable aid for
learning improvisation. Click on
