Quinze études was adapted by Ulysse Delécluse (1907-1995) from the set of six works Sonatas and Partitas for Violin initially written by J. S. Bach (1685-1750) in 1720. Started in 1703 and only finished in 1720 it alternates between three sonatas in four movements and three partitas. In this baroque composition each sonata has a four-movement structure consisting of a prelude a fugue and a more binary tempo for the third and fourth parts. The partitas with a structure close to the gigue were slightly more varied due to the introduction of different elements. This transcription for the clarinet produced in1953 by Ulysse Delécluse a French clarinettist and professor enables an easier access to this repertoire for clarinettists.

This book responds to the need for useful core material for the clarinet in C. Selected items from 'New Pieces For Clarinet' have been transposed and adapted for the instrument. An appealing variety of rhythms styles and moods and the progressive introduction of new technical accomplishments through the volume will provide invaluable repertoire-building material for teachers.
