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

Originally written for the final year Clarinet examination at the Paris Conservatoire Debussy?s ?Première Rhapsodie? has quickly become a bestseller of the Clarinet repertoire being a highly impressionisticwork that plays marvellously with the timbral possibilities of the Clarinet. Its success was so pervasive that Debussy later arranged the Piano accompaniment for Orchestra and in this form the rhapsody is today to beheard all around the world. Our edition also contains as a ?lollipop? the popular ?Petite pièce? an original work of under forty bars that was in fact devised as a sight-reading test.

Schubert for clarinet Together with Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert is considered to be the founder of romantic music in German-speaking countries. He mainly owes this reputation to the composition of more than 600 songs, many of which, even today, are an integral part of every singers repertoire. For this album James Rae has selected some of Schuberts most beautiful melodies from both his vocal and instrumental works and arranged them for clarinet. Its expressive sound, coupled with Schuberts unique melodies, is a homage to the great composer and should enrich every clarinet players repertoire.
