Excellent for many aspects of music-making, from articulation, phrasing, technique, dynamics, breath control, etc. They are much like the unaccompanied works for violin and cello by Bach (which, by the way, are readily adaptable to cl.-see Classical Studies edited by H. Voxman, Rubank): they should (if possible) be practised regularly and have earned their place as a permanent part of the repetoire.

Buy a copy from J&D Hite(a sponcer to this BBS). It includes very long description of Rose 32 etudes and Rose 40 exercises. You will find Rose 32 etudes are transciptions of the original compositions for violin. Hite gives original composer for each etude and expected total playing time. Usually these etudes are played too fast in these days.

Robert Marcellus said that the Rose 40 is a primer on all the fundamentals of good clarinet playing, esp. breath control, legato, and staccato. Mastery of it will ensure the strong foundation needed for virtuosic flexibility and articulation with the most beautiful sound.

The Rose etudes are universally studied and are some of the best teaching material that exists for the clarinet. They're also excellent music. You come back to them over and over for your whole life.
There are two sets: 32 Etudes and 40 Etudes. The least expensive editions are by International, but, unfortunately, they contain typographical errors and have bad page turns. The only alternative used to be the expensive Durand edition imported from France and printed on high-acid paper that fell apart after a few years. Now, there is a good edition put out by David Hite, which is the one you should get. He also has a nice essay on them at http://www.jdhite.com/music/clarinet/notes-c1.htm
Best regards.

I use the Rose etudes as a warmup. I always sight read exactly three of them before I begin working on my more inspirational pieces. Frankly I view them as excercises that augment my music making abilities. It's like going to the gym and doing leg presses to help you in track and field. Doing leg presses is never as fun as running itself. And because I dislike the music of the etudes so much I am very much inspired to play them as quickly and precisely as possible so that I can move on to real music. I have a rule when I use them as a warmup: if I make a mistake then I have to repeat the whole piece. Needless to say I don't make mistakes often. I would say to play them regularly because there is much to be learned and you will not be taken seriously as a clarinetist if they are not part of your practice repertoire. Have fun.

the CF has been copied, recopied, had coffee spilled on it, was recopied again & then somebody used it as a BLOTTER .... staples will hold together for at least an evening, too.
best,

Yeah, the CF editions have some mistakes, but if thats all you can find and are ina hurry-nothing is so serious that the themes and ideas in the music are changed

Hite went to France and reviewed originals and reflected his research results on his issues by my understanding.
