On a recent thread, people mentioned the lack of Barque music arranged for the clarinet. One very good source is the Recueil De Sonates by A. Perier, published by Leduc. It is in Three volumes. It contains sonatas (violin sonatas I assume) by Bach, Corelli, Tartini, Vivaldi, Geminiani, and others. Volume 1 is worth it for Corelli's La Folia variations alone. The down side is that they are expensive, hard to get and Leduc publishes on very flimsy paper. They are very good arrangements and are worth your study. IMHO

Katfish -
Those are transcriptions of flute, oboe and violin pieces.
For baroque music actually for clarinet, see Al Rice's books, The Baroque Clarinet and The Clarinet in the Classical Period, both available from Gary van Cott, http://www.vcisinc.com/clarinet.htm. The baroque book is available in a (relatively) inexpensive paperback.
Best regards.

I echo Ken's recommendation, info is available. I would guess that cl music pretty well started with Mozart's recognising what a goodie we have. Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

a problem being that many of the pieces mentioned in those books are not currently being puplished, and for good reason- they usually aren't as good as the masterworks by various members of the Bach family, Correlli, Vivaldi etc.
i have spend a great deal of time looking for music for the Chalemaux- my usual dependable sources (Luyben and various European music shops) have had only about a 30% sucess rate. Still, no harm in trying.

chalemaux?? - Vivaldi wrote a notable concerto for "diverse instruments" (boy is THAT an understatement) for the Prince of Dresden ... it features two chalemauxses (what the heck is the plural of chalemaux?)
Without music, the world would be grey, very grey.

I think you missed my point. GBK was bemoaning the fact that there was little Baroque music available for study by clarinetist as opposed to flute and saxophone players. He theorised that perhaps that is why they seem to be better players ( on average ). I suggested the Perier books as a good study source, not for performance purposes.
