The two clarinet books contain 10 little fugues in the JS Bach
tradition; book 1 is creatively titled "6 Little Fugues for 3
Clarinets" and book 2 is equally enticing "4 Little Fugues for 4
Clarinets." Not exactly stand-alone concert material but excellent
fun music for teachers and workshop directors.

Patricia: Though we do discourage advertising on the list for the most
part, I think from time to time folks do talk about their individual
offerings such as mouthpieces, works and the like. I have purchased a
mouthpiece from list member Walter Grabner (hi Walter - still love that MP!)
and would have never known about it if not for the list.

I for one am glad you have written such things for students. All too often,
there is little for students to work on with an instructor when it comes to
chamber music practice. I would suggest you advertise it also on
www.sneezy.org. There are pages there on which composers can advertise
works - and I don't think the fees are exorbitant at all.

Mark Charette can advise you better, as he is not only the list owner, but
also the "big cheese" for Sneezy as well :) Sneezy is a wonderful resource
for clarinet teachers and you would probably get a number of buyers if you
advertised your work there.

btw, just want to say a big "thank you" to Mark for all his hard work on
Sneezy over the years - it is a fabulous resource for clarinetists, and I
try to send people that way every chance I get!
