Both of the Bernstein biographies were written within the last 15 years (Peyser - 1987, Burton - 1994). Each book made the NY Times Best Seller list, are both still in print and by this time are probably even in paperback. It is inconceivable that even the smallest of local libraries would not have one, if not both books.

The Mendelssohn and Weber references I cited (there are other equally good books about both composers) may be more difficult to find but are still around. The specific clarinet texts by Brymer, and others are widely available, and as Mark noted, interlibrary loan is a valuable resource which does work.

If anyone you know is an ICA member you could ask to borrow a few back issues of The Clarinet as a reference tool.

What dismays me the most is the apparent lack of input and guidance from your college clarinet instructor.

Or, perhaps he/she was never consulted...GBK
