Offers unique perspectives on the clarinet's historical role in
various styles, genres, and ensembles, from jazz and ethnic
traditions to classical chamber music, concertos, opera, and
symphony orchestras. With essays written by leading
performer-scholars, The Clarinet offers unique perspectives on the
clarinet's historical role in various styles, genres, and
ensembles. Beginning with a chapter on clarinet iconography, the
book continues with an overview of the instrument's early history,
chapters on the clarinet in the opera orchestra and the traditional
symphony orchestra, and examinations of important genres involving
the clarinet (the concerto and the clarinet quintet). Also included
are chapters on leading twentieth-century clarinetists, the
instrument's use in the historically informed performance (HIP)
movement, and an expansive look at the clarinet's use in ethnic
traditions and early jazz. The emphasis on topics not covered
elsewhere makes this book an important contribution to the clarinet
literature. Written in an accessible style, this volume engages a
wide range of readers, from professional musicians to clarinet
aficionados and music lovers with less specialized knowledge.
Contributors to this volume include Jane Ellsworth, Eric Hoeprich,
Albert R. Rice, Ingrid Pearson, Julian Rushton, David Schneider,
Marie Sumner Lott, Colin Lawson, and S. Frederick Starr.
