This is a comprehensive introduction to the art of playing recorder
sonatas, written by a teacher and player of wide experience. It is
designed not only for students and teachers, but also for those
self-taught recorder players who have reached the point where they
feel ready to embark upon solo sonata playing. It aims to encourage
players whose experience has been limited to consort music to
extend their playing to sonatas by Handel, Telemann, and others, so
increasing their enjoyment and skill in recorder playing in all its
varied forms. Through this book they will encounter sonatas from
the seventeenth, eighteenth, and twentieth centuries, which often
make challenging demands upon the recorder's expressive
capabilities. Each of the sonatas considered is described in
relation to its musical background (illustrated by parallels with
other arts) and to the performance practices of each period.

Notes for Clarinetists: A Guide to the Repertoire offers important
historical and analytical information about thirty-five of the
best-known pieces written for the instrument. Numerous contextual
and theoretical insights make it an essential resource for
professional, amateur, and student clarinetists. With engaging
prose supported by fact-filled analytical charts, the book offers
rich biographical information and informative analyses to help
clarinetists gain a more complete understanding of Three Pieces for
Clarinet Solo by Igor Stravinsky, Aaron Copland's Concerto for
Clarinet, String Orchestra, Harp, and Piano, Robert Schumann's
Fantasy Pieces for Clarinet and Piano, Op. 73. and Time Pieces for
Clarinet and Piano, Op. 43. by Robert Muczynski, among many others.
With close attention to matters of context, style, and harmonic and
formal analysis, Albert Rice explores a significant portion of the
repertoire, and offers a faithful and comprehensive guide that
includes works by Boulez, Brahms, and Mozart to Hindemith, Poulenc,
and Stamitz. Rice includes biographical information on each
composer and highlights history's impact on the creation and
performance of important works for clarinet. Intended as a starting
point for connecting performance studies with scholarship, Rice's
analysis will help clarinetists gain a more complete picture of a
given work. Its valuable insights make it essential to musicians
preparing and presenting programs, and its detailed historical
information about the work and composer will encourage readers to
explore other works in a similarly analytical way. Covering
concertos, chamber pieces, and works for solo clarinet, Rice
presents Notes for Clarinetists as an indispensable handbook for
students and professionals alike.
Easy-to-follow lessons and clear photographs and diagrams help
guide you to achieve the very best in tone, technique and posture.
