 Brymer's book
Author: davyd

My copy of Brymer's "Clarinet", which I've had since my school days, recently suffered water damage, and had to be thrown out. I'm thinking I'd like to replace it.

What I had was the 1977 edition. I notice that there's now a 2001 edition. Is there any substantial difference between the two? Or is the newer publication simply a reprint?

Or should I get some other book entirely?

Please advise.

Why not send an e-mail to Gary van Cott? He'll probaby know.

Seconded: it's a great, great book - one of the clarinet essentials I think. And alas there won't be any more revisions.

I saw Brymer once, walking across London Bridge carrying a Howarth's bag. (Him not me.) Wanted to just say a quick 'love your work' but didn't. Silly me, wish I had...

I have a hardback copy of the original 1976 edition signed by Brymer who mentioned at the time a few errors had crept in. I also have a 1992 reprint paperback edition of the 1979 revised version in which I understand he made some corrections although I never made a line by line comparison.
I assume the 2001 version is a repint of his 1979 update but check the publishers print details inside front pages.
There are no substantial differences between 1976 and 1979 versions.
