| Abstract | This is a guide for the clarinet player who sets his sights high--whether he be conservatory or university student, practicing professional or enthusiastic amateur. More than a how-to-do-it manual, the author (with writer Charles Mansfield) distills his insights as an internationally-acclaimed classical solo performer and recording artist into an illustrated step-by-step tour through the details of reed selection and adjustment. Above all, the book recognizes the importance of mental and emotional approaches to the art of clarinet playing, which are effective only when grounded on an intimate knowledge of the instrument itself. |
