These etudes were written at the request of students and colleagues to create music specific to the low clarinets for use in study and competitions. Due to their tessitura, etudes for soprano clarinet are often frustrating to play on low clarinets. By contrast, this completely new group of studies utilizes modern motifs, meters, and rhythms in idiomatic settings for low instruments. Nine of the 13 etudes are original pieces, and four are homage etudes honoring twentieth-century composers—Bartok, Hindemith, Debussy, and Stravinsky. The contemporary nature of these etudes also makes them appealing to play on soprano clarinets in the chalumeau to moderate clarion registers.
This book was written specifically for beginning students working with a private teacher or in an entry-level clarinet class. The author emphasizes correct hand positions, breath control, and tone production needed for a successful start on the instrument, all the while encouraging the student to develop fundamental musicianship. Particular attention is given to the concept of playing in the rich, low chalumeau range of the clarinet as well as to playing over the break between registers. Finger exercises, daily warmups, a chromatic fingering chart, and helpful tips on accessories, beginning repertoire and care of the instrument complete this insightful volume—essential for any beginning clarinetist’s bookshelf!
