I have a copy of the two volume book By Leon Russianoff. Just Two years
ago I tried to get a copy for a friend of mine and got the big run around only
to find that the books were no longer published. I think this is a huge loss
for clarinet world as these books are wonderful. I only wish I might have
studied with Mr. Russianoff.
