Forsyth's Modern Wind Music is a series of volumes containing exciting and challenging, but not unduly difficult, works by talented English composers of current or recent vintage for recital, study or recreation. Each volume includes three works with piano, one unaccompanied piece, and one piece for two or more players of the instrument. In this volume for clarinet John Casken's 'Taerset' takes its title from Tarset in Northumberland, inspired by a holiday there, while Julia Usher's 'Subsequent Darkness' is inspired by a game of chess. The solo work is a capricious 'Arabesque' by Richard Orton, who also contributes a quartet for clarinets that plays on diaphragm articulation. David Ellis's 'Berceuse' is an extended lullaby, but not without its troubled dreams.

The two volumes contain 69 works and movements altogether, in chronological order: in Volume 1, from the Renaissance to Beethoven, and in Volume 2 from Weber up to the present day. Most of them are transcriptions of instrumental or choral works, the easiest ones can be played after just a few months of clarinet study. The supplementary parts supplied enable the clarinet (or bass clarinet) in the two outer parts to be replaced by a non-transposing instrument: flute, oboe or violin, and bassoon or cello.
