This is a magnificent collection of studies, for clarinettists of an advanced standard, covering a broad musical range in which almost every aspect of clarinet playing is dealt with. The studies each require specific skills, such as melodic interpretation, sound quality, rhythmic precision, technique and dynamics: skills that you need for all performances on the clarinet. On the CD which comes with the book you will find an interpretation of each piece played by Walter Boeykens. This isn’t necessarily the definitive interpretation but gives you a basis on which to base your own musical story. You are sure to enjoy this fantastic collection!
