The clarinet method op. 63 by Carl Baermann from 1867 is still a standard work in classical clarinet education today. The thoroughly revised new edition aims at reviewing the educational concept, which is still valid today, for modern lessons, adjusting the music and texts, and sensibly complementing the teaching contents.The editor who draws on many years of experience as a clarinettist in an orchestra and university lecturer of clarinet has succeeded in adapting the valuable teaching material to the requirements of today while maintaining the basic methodology. The result is a total of 7 volumes:Clarinet Method Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (ED 21761, ED 21762)Clarinet Method Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, with 2 CDs each (ED 21761-50, ED 21762-50): The CDs contain the piano accompaniment for the performance pieces, with and without clarinetTune Book 1 and 2 (ED 21763, ED 21764): piano score of the method's performance pieces, with additional inserted clarinet partDaily Exercises (ED 21765): systematic scale, interval and chord exercises in all keys, complemented and published separately from the original methodDue to trilingual nature of all editions (German, English, French), they can be used universally.About the revision:The musical text is based on the first edition of the method. Only a few differences concerning the articulation as well as some misprints and typographical errors were revised. By deleting the historical fingering instructions for the German fingering system, the clarinet method not only has a clean and, compared to the original, more clearly structured layout, but can also be used universally. The content of the text and the performance directions of the original were linguistically modernized and occasionally extended by further ideas from the teaching practice, such as concepts for warming up, breathing exercises, literature suggestions or tips for daily practising. Further additions of scale and triad studies in all major and minor keys make this method a comprehensive and thorough work of study which not only serves as teaching material for young and adult beginners, but is also a valuable compendium of scale exercises and studies for advanced musicians and is ideal for training velocity and dexterity.The Clarinet Method Vols. 1 and 2 contain not only scales and technical fingering exercises but also Baermann's popular performance pieces, like Romanze (No. 14), which are ideal as performance pieces, yet at the same time train both technique and musical expressiveness. The systematic scale, interval and chord exercises in all keys, however, were removed and are published separately in the volume Daily Exercises (ED 21765) for reasons of clarity.The two textbooks are available with or without CDs. The editions with CDs contain two audio CDs each which were recorded live by the editor and which contain a classic audio version of each performance piece as well as a pure piano version for playing along. / Clarinette

This volume presents keyboard works and solos songs by Johannes Brahms arranged for solo clarinet with piano accompaniment. These nine works have been carefully chosen to stay within the abilities of the intermediate levelclarinetist. In most pieces the clarinet part makes only brief exxtensions into the altissimo register emphasizing instead notes in the lower two registers. As with all works of Brahms the accompanying parts (here the piano) areprominent and often are of equal importance with the solo part. For this reason the piano part will require a performer of equal ability to the clarinetist. The music presented here is of high quality and gives the intermediateclarinetist interesting literature to perform for contest or recitals. Includes a separate pull-out solo part.

Arranged for 4 B Flat Clarinets and Bass Clarinet. This is the signature tune for the clarinet society 'Clarinetwise'.

G.F.Handel's (1685-1759) Sonata In B Flat is well-known to the Oboe repertoire. Therefore when French clarinetist Emile Stievenard arranged the popular piece for the Clarinet it was very well-received. The Sonata In B Flat is made up of four movements; Adagio Allegro Adagio and Allegro. Handel's Sonata In B Flat was first published in 1707-10 for Oboe. Stievenard's editions ensure that the Clarinet part contains the articulation performance directions phrasing and breath marks necessary to the instrument. For all clarinetists thisarrangement of the popular Sonata In B Flat is essential.

Nous avions précédemment exposé la clarinette dans le jazz, tout d?abord dans la méthode Clarinette New Orleans, puis dans la Méthode de clarinette du Swing au Be-Bop, dans laquelle figurait d?ailleurs un blues avec une improvisation à la manière d?Hubert Rostaing, le clarinettiste préféré de Django Reinhardt, Blues for D.J.. Avec ce présent ouvrage, nous nous attachons à une période bien particulière, qui se situe en France dans les années 30, et qui a vu la naissance d?un jazz tout nouveau, que l?on appela jazz gitan, ou parfois swing gitan, ou encore jazz tzigane, et qui deviendra rapidement le jazz manouche, emmené par un musicien de génie : le guitariste Django Reinhardt, manouche né en 1910, dont la famille s?est fixée à Paris dans les années 20. Django Reinhardt a commencé très jeune à jouer dans les bals de la capitale, et c?est grâce à ce métissage entre cette musique des dancings d?une part, la musique d?inspiration tzigane importée en France par les groupes roms et manouche d?autre part, et du jazz, introduit par les soldats américains en 1917 après que les Etats-Unis se soient engagés dans le premier conflit mondial, que ce swing typiquement français a vu le jour. Ce style de jazz a laissé surtout dans les oreilles et les mémoires ce son de cordes, car il s?est rapidement fait connaître par une formation de type violon - 2 guitares - contrebasse, rencontrant un grand succès. C?est un peu oublier l?histoire, car les débuts du jeune Django se sont donc faits dans les salles de danse, partageant avec accordéonistes et clarinettistes les premières notes de ce nouveau genre musical. D?ailleurs, lorsque le violoniste Stéphane Grappelli quitta le quintette du Hot-Club de France pendant les années de guerre, D. Reinhardt le remplaça par un clarinettiste de talent, Hubert Rostaing, et d?autres clarinettistes fameux partageront cette aventure : Alix Combelle, Maurice Meunier ou encore André Ekyan. Nous avons donc essayé de présenter ce courant musical dans cet ouvrage, en illustrant le style par des morceaux calqués sur des standards, et avec des exemples d?improvisation à la manière des grands clarinettistes de l?époque. Sur le CD accompagnant le livre, vous trouverez en première partie les morceaux enregistrés à titre d?exemple, avec le thème suivi de son exemple d?improvisation, et en deuxième partie l?accompagnement seul, par la rythmique (dans la tradition jazz manouche : deux guitares et contrebasse), le playback, sur lequel vous pourrez tester vos interprétations. La note La (440 Hz) est donnée au début du CD, pour vous permettre de vous accorder. Tout au long de l?ouvrage, nous avons réuni quelques éléments qui nous paraissaient importants pour l?apprentissage des codes du jazz en général : les principes de base de l?interprétation, les principaux effets du jazz à la clarinette, le rappel des gammes de base nécessaires à l?improvisation, le rappel des principaux accords et de leurs enchaînements... A la fin, nous avons fait figurer les accords utilisés dans la méthode, les gammes pentatoniques et blues, les grilles de blues et d?anatoles déclinées dans toutes les tonalités, et un petit lexique qui explique quelques mots clés pour une meilleure compréhension. (Les mots figurant dans le lexique sont écrits en gras dans notre texte). Nous finissons par quelques mots sur les clarinettistes de cette période, ceux qui ont marqué l?histoire du jazz manouche. Continuons donc notre voyage au pays de la clarinette jazz... Bon travail, et bonne musique !

clarinet part in B flat-Along with Robert Schumann?s identically titled op. 73 the FantasiestĂĽcke of 1864 by the Danish composer Niels Wilhelm Gade are an essential part of the repertoire of all clarinettists. Gade lived in Leipzig for a long time andhad been among Schumann?s close friends. With this deeply romantic composition he made an important contribution to establishing the clarinet as a chamber-music soloist. The four pieces in this collection can of course beperformed separately and are ideal teaching material. Our editor the clarinettist Nicolai Pfeffer has drawn upon the German and Danish first editions and the autograph in Copenhagen as sources and consequently has been able toeliminate several discrepancies found in older editions.

Celebrated Violin virtuoso Niccolò Paganini (1782-1840) is well-known for his Caprices for Violin aiding violinists in their technique. Therefore when clarinetist Ulysse Delécluse arranged a selection of the Caprices for Clarinet it was well-received. Paganini's compositions are technically creative and demanding and Delécluse's adaptions for the Clarinet include variations in articulation phrasing breath marks range and dynamics. Considering the success of Paganini's Caprices for the Violin this versatile adaption forclarinetists cannot be missed by advanced performers of the instrument.

Like a technical encyclopedia for the Clarinet 25 Technical And Melodic Studies provides a detailed guide to establishing high standard technique on the instrument. Jeanjean's first volume in the compilation covers all aspects from complex rhythms to articulation making the book a must buy for all clarinettists. As a noted virtuoso Clarinet player himself Jeanjean's understanding of the practice of technical elements is second to none. The 25 Technical And Melodic Studies supply steady development in the context of seven solo studies five studies for three Clarinets and one duet study. This Paul Jeanjean study book cannot be missed by aspiring clarinettists.
