UNDERSTANDING THE LOW CLARINETS

Jason Alder writes:
"Saunders and Siennicki wrote another method aimed at transitioning to the low clarinets from soprano clarinet, discussing similarities and differences among the instruments. There is information about reeds, embouchure, articulation, intonation, posture and hand position, and transposing from bass clef for the E-flat contra with a transposition etude; and exercises for tone, articulation and finger technique. There are 11 etudes and three pieces with piano, with versions transposed for alto, bass, contra-alto and contrabass. Some lower ossias are provided to avoid higher range notes."
