Hi! I love to read books and I am trying to find a series of book written by a clarinet player. Anne McAffrey rides horses and has written a whole fictional series about them and was just wondering if there was a clarinet professor or something that writes books like that.
Gotta Go Practice,

Very nice quote, new to me! RE: books, there are many, by Stein, Brymer, Lawson, Pino, Williman, Rendall, Baines, Sachs, and reference works like Groves Dictionary --- [all I can think of at the moment]. In common, they all have Clarinet in the title, and most will be in an up-to-date library, or available to it. Check Gary Van Cott's site for more specialized reference material, and read up and down our BBoard for more. Don

If music be the food of love, play on; Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die. That strain again! It had a dying fall: O! it came o'er my ear like the sound That breathes upon a bank of violets, Stealing and giving odor. -- Shakespeare. Twelfth Night.

The most interesting books I've ever read with the word "clarinet" in the titel is Pamela Weston's: "Clarinet Virtuosi of the Past", "More Clarinet Virtuosi of the Past" and "Clarinet Virtuosi of today". The first two books are published on: Fentone Music Ltd. Fleming Rd, Earlstrees, Corby, Northants, NN17 4SN England. The last on: Egon Publishers Ltd. Royston Rd. Baldock, Hertfordshire SG7 6NW, England. They give personal portraits of all welknown clarinetists thruout history from "Mr Charles" in the 1740th to the most welknown players of today. Very interesting reading and highly recomended to everyone who has a serious interest in clarinet.

Great selection, B J!, will look it up, Alphie, TKS. I forgot to mention the ICA publication "The Clarinet", its packed with goodies, the current issue has good pictures and clear description by Dr.Deborah Reeves [Shrine to Music}on the cl history from Muller thru Albert to 1900's. Just superb!! Don

I'd be interested in reading fiction about a clarinet player, too, but I've never seen anything like that. I've seen one movie, "Song of the Thin Man" (made in 1947) in which two of the main characters are clarinet players in a swing band. It's a murder mystery, available on video. If you're interested in what real-life clarinetists have to say about life and music, I recommend Artie Shaw's autobiography, _The Trouble with Cinderella," and two books by Jack Brymer, _The Clarinet_, which is about the instrument itself, and _From Where I Sit_, which is a memoir of his life as a musician.
