Bill,

I'm definitely not "upper level" --just an old guy who got back to the
clarinet two years ago after a 30 year hiatus. But I'm afraid the Little
Mermaid type of thing doesn't interest me.

What is on my stand (actually mostly sitting on my daughter's piano where I
play) is the Brahms op. 100 violin sonata as transcribed by Kent Kennan, the
Nino Rota Sonata, and the C-Tedesco Sonatas, Debussy Prelude a l'Apres-mide
d'un faune transcribed by Gillespie, Gershwin Three Preludes transcribed by
Cohn (the above pieces I am working on with a pianist); the Reinecke Sonata,
Cahuzac Cantilene, and William O. Smith Five Pieces (Cantilene great for
legato, Smith great for skips and jumps and detache). I like all this music
a great deal.

I also have the Uhl etudes, Rose 32 and Polatchek Advanced Studies
(well-worn from my youth and with Mitchell Lurie's comments in pencil on
some of the yellowing pages) and Howard Klug's book (teacher supreme)
sitting on that very piano. Since I only have time to practice 30-45
minutes a day, obviously I rotate between the above!
