Titles in Dictionaries for the Modern Musician series offer both
the novice and the advanced artist key information designed to
convey the field of study and performance for a major instrument or
instrument class, as well as the workings of musicians in areas
from conducting to composing. Unlike other encyclopedic works,
contributions to this series focus primarily on the knowledge
required by the contemporary musical student or performer. Each
dictionary covers topics from instrument parts to playing technique
and major works to key figures. A must-have for any musician's
personal library! The clarinet has played an important role in all
kinds of music, ranging from classical to jazz to the traditional
music of varying ethnicities and traditions. A beloved band
instrument to thousands of school children, the clarinet is also
capable of capturing some of the most sublime musical moments in
the hands of professional artists. It has found a home in any
number of venues, from the great symphonic concert halls to local
jazz clubs, from the streets of New Orleans to the film studios of
Hollywood. In A Dictionary for the Modern Clarinet, scholar and
musician Jane Ellsworth offers lovers of the clarinet the premiere
reference book for information about this remarkable instrument.
Containing over 400 terms, Ellsworth covers the clarinet's history
(including both modern and historical instruments, common and
rare), acoustics, construction, fingering systems and mechanisms,
and techniques, as well as its more important performers, makers,
and scholars. A Dictionary for the Modern Clarinetist will delight
clarinet aficionados at all levels. For knowledgeable professionals
it will serve as a quick and handy reference guide, useful in the
high school or college library and the home teaching studio alike;
students and amateurs will find it accessible and full of
fascinating information about the world of the clarinet.
