Klangbeispiele wichtiger Passagen aus der Opern- und Konzertliteratur-Excerpts from the Concert & Operatic Repertoire for Clarinet/High Clarinet (D/Eb)/Bass Clarinet. See MP8661 for accompanying set of 2 CDs - these orchestral recordings present the complete excerpt and the Clarinet parts are not omitted.

Italian clarinetist and composer Ernesto Cavallini (1807-1874) studied at the Milan Conservatory. He has been described as the 'Paganini of the Clarinet' therefore it is no surprise that his studies for the instrument such as 30 Caprices are very well-informed. Volume 2 of Cavallini's 30 Caprices contains caprices 19 to 30. All of the studies are virtuosic addressing features including chromaticism scales articulation a wide range breath control intervals variations in performance directions dynamics and tempo differing key signatures and time signatures complex rhythms and ornamentation amongst other aspects. For all advanced clarinetists Cavallini's 30 Caprices are essential ensuring technical progression to a high standard.
