Step by Step Basics of Clarinet Technique in 100 Studies by Rudolf Mauz. Schott, 2009, SS, 79 pages. This new book has 100 useful studies for the intermediate clarinetist which range in difficulty from early to advanced within that level. It has quite a bit of explanatory text which is in German, English, and French. The studies are drawn from familiar sources such as Bearmann, Berr, Demnitz, Klose, Lazarus, Rose, etc. The areas of emphasis are articulation, extending dynamic range, fingering technique, more advanced staccato exercises, melodic studies in keys to 4 flats and 4 sharps, the most important ornaments, and scales and arpeggios in keys to 4 flats and 4 sharps.
