Subj: Novice's Arrangements out of copyright & other stuff
Date: Sat, 26 Apr 1997 21:27:07 -0400

If anyone has their own arrangements of songs for
beginning clarinet that they would like to share
publicly or has arrangements that are demonstrably
out of copyright, would you please send me mail at
music@-----.com? I'd like to put some novice type
arrangements out on sneezy if possible (things like
arrangements of Pachelbel Canon - I've got a copy
of the 2nd Bb clarinet part that is perfect for my
level in sight reading & playing, but I don't have
any of the other parts to play as MIDI accompaniment).

Most of the material I have already on sneezy is WAY
outside a beginner's level, and I get requests often for
beginner's and intermediate level music.

I also have a couple other things I'd like to put on sneezy
for educational purposes:

1) pictures of different types of clarinets next to a
metric ruler for size comparison (many of us who are
beginners have never seen an eefer or a C or a D
clarinet; indeed, A clarinets are rare in many high
schools that have only bands). Systems other than Boehm
would also be very welcome; they're rare in the U.S. .

2) If there are any artists/illustrators out there, a
diagram of a Boehm system clarinet (to start) with the
names of the levers, rings, tenons, etc. would be most
welcome! When I read Klarinet and someone talks about
a fork F# key, I can ask my teacher; however, many aspiring
clarinetists aren't so lucky. Original drawings only -
no copyright violations, please.

If you can help out, please drop me a line at
music@-----.

Thanks,
