Hi Gary (and All),

I'm the author of the below mentioned book, and I'm pleased (and relieved!) to report that the new edition will be ready before Clarinet Fest this summer. One reason it has taken so long is that it now contains several parts (which will also be available separately) that make up a multimedia package:

1) a 500+ page book of extended techniques that includes more than 150 new musical examples from music since 1992 (the date of the first edition). Access to a website with MP3 downloads will also be available.

2) CDs of the 1000+ sounds in the book

3) a collection of 35 etudes and more than 50 exercises to learn these techniques

4) a DVD that includes 2 parts: a) an interactive DVD-Rom that includes audio and video examples from the B-flat, bass, and E-flat books, as well as links to websites about the composers, music, and publishers of the musical examples (it also will include access to a "Clarinet of the Twenty-First Century" website that will be regularly updated and that includes MP3 files for download, and b) a DVD movie of 54 clips that illustrate some of the exercises mentioned above as well as general concepts from the book. The DVD will be accompanied by a 74-page booklet with further information about these 54 clips.

5) revised editions of the Bass Clarinet and E-flat Clarinet books.

More information in May about pricing, etc.

Best regards,

E. Michael Richards

It would be even better if it was available. I have been waiting for the
new edition for more than two years.
