Dear Members,
Until now sought after to no result, I permit myself to ask You for help in finding two books, which I am not able to get:
1. Richards, E. Michael, The Clarinet of the 21st Century: Exploration of New Instrumental Ressources Based on Principles of Acoustics, E & K Publishers, 1991.
2. Garbarino, Giuseppe, Metodo per Clarinetto. English translation by Reginald Smith Brindle, Milan 1978.
Please, has anyone information of how I could possibly purchase those books?
Thank You very much in advance for Your kind efforts
Markus Wenninger

Markus - GBK has given you an excellent source for the Richard bookS, TKS, GBK, I was unaware, partic. about the bass cl book! Colin Lawson , in "Clarinet" [Cambridge Companion] on pg. 172 [paperback] makes reference to Garbarino re: "confusing number notation for fingerings" . Have you requested your library's reference librarian to search for a loaner copy? Beyond that, I'd suggest asking Gary Van Cott, a sponsor here, and/or Albert Rice, Claremont Curator, author of the recent "The Baroque Clarinet" and contributor to the Early Clarinet site ,a Yahoo Group. Much luck, Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

Well, I just posted an email to the adress given in GBK´s reply, I hope it will turn out fine and I will be able to purchase that magificent book (by what I´ve read about it; there´s doubtless an acute need for such an all-compassing clarinet-of-nowadays-book, but whom am I telling this). If not so, I will try those other hints given so freely and freindly by You, thank You very much indeed for them.
Markus

[This is a cut & paste from a new thread Markus tried to open up. PLEAEE, do not iopen up a new thread on the same subject that you started, especially only a few days old! Mark C. ]
So far no response to my request for Richardson´s "THe Clarinet of the 21st Century", E&K Publishers 1996. Any better source available. Also couldn´t reach Gary van Cott, the one Don Berger pointed out to me, the "sponsor´s list" has to my knowledge zero content, as far as names and contact is concerned. Please, any help out there (oh, and forget the librarians here, they´re happy if they can just stick to their next-to-nothing budget to serve curricula made by the establishment...)?
Please correct me if I am wrong, but is there anybody around this board who is into contemporary music (not 19th century, not jazz)? I get the feeling that at least 9 out of ten people here play as well as teach compositions up to, let´s say, 1900, and that´s that for them then. So, where are all those who practise multiphonics, colour-thremolos, who sweat over open-form-scores, graphical notation, altissimo-registers, 8th-tone-alterings?
Have a nice day,
Markus

Then you did something wrong; Gary actively answers every email. He wouldn't ignore your email whether or not he can find your book.

I teach and play a good deal of 20th century composition and can refer you to a number of books that include multiphonic fingerings....
I have a William O. Smith booklet of fingerings published in the early 70s in California which has many multiphonic fingering. It is no longer published.
The Clarinet by Colin LaWSON has a super set of fingerings in the Cambridge Companion by Roger Heaton, who is right now one of the finest performers of contemporary technique of the clarinet. We can only hope Roger Heaton comes out with a book on the subject, his knowledge in this arena is vast!
There is also an excellent article in the 1976 clarinet mag which is by Gerald Errante which has numerous fingerings.....
If I am not mistaken Mr. Alessandro Carbonare intends on a book of contemporary techniques as well. This I heard from a colleague in France.
Many composers supply alternate fingerings with the music as well.

I believe the complete list of Bill Smith's fingerings are reprinted in Phillip Rehfeldts' "New Directions for Clarinet".

Markus --
Here's one way to communicate with Gary Van Cott:
1. On this page find the Music & Books "box" and click on it. That will open a new window with some of the site's sponsors.
2. Find the Woodwind Books and More box and click on that. Again, another window will open. You are now at Gary Van Cott's site. (By clicking on the various "buttons" you can explore his offerings. However, to ask a question, go to step 3.)
3. Find the Request Information button and click on that. On the page that comes up you can type in your question and send it electronically. There is also a clickable e-mail address at the bottom (info@vcisinc.com).
Hope this helps.
Todd W.

Markus - All of us are trying to help you, David, Mark C and Todd the latest. A "basic" search for books should include Amazon and Barnes&Noble, both of whom have "out-of-print" searching available. Any reference librarian [worthy of their salt!] should offer you a loaner-search form for your request, or at least put you into the inter-library-search web sites for you to search. I have tried Library of Congress searching [which should have everything !] and others, but might suggest contacting some of the major "music" schools [their libraries], including Indiana, Denton TX [help with correct name, please], Northwestern et al [again, please help me]. Best of luck! Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

Based on the syntax in the original message, I'm guessing that Markus is from a German speaking country, or at least some non-English speaking country. I know interlibrary loan is common in the US, but I don't know whether it's going to be possible to do that from a US school library over to Europe. Nor do I know whether interlibrary loan is easy to do in Europe. Hopefully he'll be able to directly contact some of the suppliers mentioned, but it's not really that easy to get out of print books when you're not in the country they were published in, and all mail order companies do not ship overseas. So Markus, if you are in Europe, maybe you could try contacting a music library in the UK.
Good luck

Very Perceptive, Supernova [!!! wow], that didnt occur to me , nor, perhaps, to other of our US'ers. Its easy to forget that other nationals may not have the "goodies" we are accustomed to. Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

Yes, Don, but if you had a choice between (free?) library loans and decent, affordable health care, elderly care, five week vacations, etc., which would you choose?

Markus, I baught my copy of the Richards book at Vandoren. It's listed at
http://www.vandoren.com/pdf/catCl_2001_XPress40JM.pdf
Scroll down to "1. Partition: Clarinette Classique", scroll further to "Richards E Michael" and you'll find the book. Send an e-mail with an order to <partitions@vandoren.fr> Jean-Claude will be more than willing to help you.

Thanx to Alphie, perhaps "our" search is successful! You are SO RITE, Henry, What time we have spent in England and Germany certainly showed us that they have things we [here] dont. I've just gone thru the throes of finding a source for Lipitor at $12 instead of $220. Have a feeling of accomplishment, like playing a solo quite well! Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

Thanks everyone, I ´ll try that "Vandoren"-advice, perhaps that´ll work out. / I own the Rehfeldt book already - it is very ressourceful (though the snailmail-adresses listed seem to be outdated, none of the letters I worte to quite a few publishers could be delievered, all "returned to sender") and precise book, especially as far as the fingerings are concerned; "here in olden Europe" there still isn´t such a thing as a common and intersubjective notation of e.g. multiphonic fingering etc - nearly every composer comes up with his/her own version of a fingering etc; luckily most minds function the same way, so the notated results resemble each other to a fairly well degree. / Interlibray loan is also possible here in the old world (yep, supernova, You´re right, this is Germany. What´s wrong with my syntax, by the way?) Thee point is that public libraries simply don´t have a copy of the book in question, one can find everything about non-contemporary aeras, but the 20ieth and 21st century is still a vast desert. I still have to visit the "Archive of Contemporary Music" in Dresden, there are rumors that things are different there...But as long as there is such a community as this board, this impediment can be circumvented.
