Perfect for daily warm-ups and scale practice, this enduring resource
was created by an internationally renowned clarinet virtuoso of the
nineteenth century. Carl Baermann's method assists clarinet players in
becoming true musicians, and his etudes are not only fine exercises but
also lessons in understanding how to play more musically. These
indispensable exercises are suitable for early intermediate players
already versed in the fundamentals as well as seasoned musicians.
The studies cover all twelve major scales with relative melodic minor
scales, all major and minor broken chord passages, diminished chords of
the seventh, and all major and minor interrupted scales. Other exercises
focus on diminished chords of the seventh, returning scales, chords of
the seventh on the major scales, diverse chords, and scales in thirds,
sixths, and octaves. The book concludes with staccato and trill
exercises and exercises for triplets.
