Hi!
For a project at my college, I need to talk about various composers who wrote/write for clarinet using extended technique. Could someone suggest a few names?
Thanks so much,
Tom

Tom -
Check Gary Van Cott's site. He has several books on extended techniques, with examples from various pieces.
William O. Smith is definitely one of the composers to look at.
Best regards.

Hi Tom,
If you are looking for some resources on extended tech. I can offer a few suggestions:
New Directions for Clarinet-Phillip Rehfeldt,University of California Press (EXCELLENT!)
The Twentieth Century Clarinetist-Allen Sigel, Belwin Mills
(in the form of etudes, very good)
Contemporary Techniques for the Clarinet-Frank J. Dolak, Studio P/R
(Studies and Etudes, looks good but I never really dug into it)
Preliminary Exercises and Etudes in Contemporarty Techniques for Clarinet- Ronald L. Caravan
(also, looks good but I can't say more than that.)
Good Luck and drop me a line if you have any follow-up questions about these publications. I am not sure if they are all still available but I would say the Rehfeldt is my favorite and is, I think, the most extensive and useful.
Brent

IMHO, no list of such composers would be complete without Gerry Errante and Eric Mandat, both clarinetists themselves.
Best regards,

janlynn - thank you. I too am curious about this "extended technique." I have some technique and suspect that it needs to be extended, but I'm puzzled by the conversation here.

Extended technique - what a load of jargonese. You either have technique or not and, depending on how much you've learned that is the only way of juding how well you play or how "marvellous" you play.
