This book contains both exercises and songs for performance. Intonation, articulation, phrasing, and rhythm are strengthened in the exercises, and the conditioning is extended so that the playing of the songs and the recital pieces will be a pleasure for players as well as for listeners. The first and second parts are of the same degree of difficulty, so that the parts can be exchanged in the repeats. The songs include: Lieder, folk songs, chorales, choral songs, canons, song, Christmas carols, birthday songs, etc. The different recital pieces are intended as preparation for the great world of music literature. Tempos and dynamics can be adjusted according to the student's ability. Titles and lyrics are in German. / Clarinette

Par WEISSENBORN JULIUS. German bassoonist and pedagogue Julius Weissenborn is known primarily as an author and composer of method and etude books familiar to all bassoonists. However, he also composed a number of solo works, including this Capriccio, Op. 14. Not only is the piece educational to the player, but it is also quite entertaining to the audience. Similar to the Premier Solo of Eugene Bourdeau, the Capriccio is often regarded as somewhat of a secondary solo, good for students before they move on to the 'real' repertoire. However, it is a well thought-out and fun piece, and is perfectly suited for the bass clarinet. In this edition, the piano part has been transposed down a whole-step (toB-flat major), to better accommodate the bass clarinet. In addition, there are two solo parts included, one for extended range bass clarinet (to low C), and for standard range bass clarinet (to low E).

The volume of Carbonare, clarinetist, first solo clarinet at the National Orchestra of France, the Berliner Philharmoniker and now the National Orchestra of the National Academy of Santa Cecilia in Rome is based on the daily work of the instrumentalist. Carbonare is dedicated in particular to the homogeneity, the intonation, the color and the ductility of the sound, characteristics often underestimated with respect to the speed of the fingers and the staccato. The book, with text in Italian, English and French, is divided into four parts: in the first there are vocalizations, in the second one the acute and the grave register are dealt, in the third the throat sounds of the left hand, in the fourth, finally , exercises on ecotones and ways of attack. A recommendation from the author: «A book alone can not succeed in improving such a delicate aspect as that of sound without your input. These exercises are just ideas, proposals; you will be later to complete according to our personal needs the studies that are suggested to you. Be inventive and do not passively study! »
