The first edition of Albert R. Rice's The Baroque Clarinet is
widely considered the authoritative text on the European clarinet
during the first half of the eighteenth century. Since its
publication in 1992, its conclusions have influenced the approaches
of musicologists, instrument historians, and clarinet performers.
Twenty-eight years later, Rice has updated his renowned study in a
second edition, with new chapters on chalumeau and clarinet music,
insights on newly found instruments and additional material on the
Baroque clarinet in society. Expanding the volume to include the
chalumeau, close cousin and predecessor to the clarinet, Rice draws
on nearly three decades of new research on the instrument's origins
and music. Discoveries include two recently found chalumeaux in a
private collection, one by Johann Heinrich Eichentopf of Leipzig,
and attributions based on historical evidence for three more
chalumeaux. Rice furthers the discussion to recently uncovered
early instruments and historical scores, which shed light on the
clarinet's evolution. Most essentially, Rice highlights the
chalumeau's substantial late-seventeenth and early-eighteenth
century repertory, comprising over 330 works by 66 composers, and
includes a more expansive list of surviving Baroque clarinet works,
organized by date, composer, and tonality/range. The Baroque
Clarinet and Chalumeau provides a long-awaited follow-up to Rice's
groundbreaking volume, drawing from a variety of sources-including
German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish,
Flemish, Czech, and Catalan research-to bring this new information
to an English-speaking audience. With his dedication to scholarly
accuracy, Rice brings the Baroque clarinet into sharper focus than
ever before.
