Format : Sheet music
Description This collection of pieces gleaned from the unaccompanied works of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) will broaden the horizons of the amateur, student and professional musicians alike. It is intended that these transcriptions serve as a teaching aid; helping in study of form, phrasing, style and other aspects of making music. In addition, they may also be utilized for the purpose of performance. It should be noted that some register adjustments have been instituted to better suit the range limitations of the clarinet. I have tried my best to be as faithful as possible to Bach's original compositions, striving for consistency and continuity of line. All editorial markings (trills, dynamics, articulations, etc.) are solely the editors and are of course open to interpretation. The first set of pieces (Partita, BWV 1013) is heavily edited to show that keeping within the standard performance practice of the Baroque style, experimentation is expected and encouraged.

Artistically beautiful clarinet solos with keyboard accompaniment on familiar sacred and classic melodies. This collection aims to provide repertoire for the Church instrumentalist from the best composers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: J. S. Bach, Handel, and Mendelssohn. Much of this is well-known in concert and in church settings. The variety of length of the works provides music that can be used for Prelude, offertory, instrumental interlude, or Postlude in the Church Service. The music here is of the highest quality, and can also be used for recital or concert purposes. Includes a 16-page pull-out part for the soloist.
