First Classics for the Clarinet 14 pieces arranged for clarinet solo with piano accompaniment by Eric Simon. G. Schirmer, 1942, SS, 15 + 8 pages. This collection of music is designed for the clarinet student that has overcome the first problems of technique and reading. While Simon sees this as first year material, with typical young students it may be more appropriate for the second and third year. The piano parts are also intended to be relatively easy. These are works from the classic master from about 1725 to 1825: Franz Schubert Lullaby (Song, Op. 92 No. 2), Hedge Rose (Song, Op. 3, No. 3) and Theme (for the Octet Op. 166); Josef Haydn St. Anthony Chorale and Minuet (from the string quartet Op. 2, No. 2); Ludwig van Beethoven Marmotte (Song, Op. 51, No. 7) and Bagatelle (for piano, Op. 119, No. 11); J.S. Bach Musette (for piano) and Polonaise (for piano); and W.A. Mozart Longing For Spring (Song, K.596), Contra Dance (small orchestra K.448b) and Trio (from the clarinet quintet K.581). (C1902)
