What an interesting thread. There is nothing on my music stand at the
moment - My wife requires me to clear it when I'm finished so she can teach
her little string students in our music room. What is in my case, then, is
Rose 32 Etudes and my orchestra folder containing the parts for Tschaikovsky
Romeo and Juliet Overture, Bernstein Symphonic Dances from Westside Story,
and R.Strauss Four Last Songs. This is quite enough to be getting on with
in the infrequent 13.5 minute practise sessions I squeeze in after work
between baby sleep/feed times and times when Daddy is required to play with
the said 7 month old. It seems that the supersonic passages in the
Bernstein are incompatible with having a baby in the house!

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!
