Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this work has been to deal with clarinet performance as it has evolved in the literature since approximately 1950: to identify or "catalogue" the practices now prevalent which differ from those formerly standardized; to provide some perspective on specific performance capabilities and limitations; and, whenever appropriate, to include suggestions for performance based on the author's own experience. It is intended as a guidebook for composers as well as a manual to which clarinettists might refer in working out various problems associated with new music performance. --pref.
