Symphonic Repertoire for the Bass Clarinet, Volume One by Michael Drapkin, Roncorp Publications, SS, 70 pages. This recently reprinted edition is based on the corrected version released in early 2003. This book includes 36 excerpts selected from the standard symphonic literature, some more obscure works with noteworthy bass clarinet solos, and additional pieces that frequently appear on audition lists. Composers include Gershwin, Mahler, Rachmaninoff, Ravel, Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky and more. An number of the excerpts are in bass clef and several are for bass clarinet in A. The author recently noted, "It has been 24 years since the original release, and this reprint provided me the opportunity to make a couple of corrections, most notably the correct transposition of the bass clarinet part to the Berg Violin Concert, as well as some misspellings."
