Congratulations.

Scheherazade has solos that require great projection of personality -- the mad cadenzas, the waves of the ocean rising up high and then going down, the elegant dance of the princess. It helps to listen to how the great players did them.

The Ralph McLane excerpts CD has him playing the various solos. He does them particularly well. The Daniel Bonade excerpts CD also has excellent versions. Gary van Cott has them http://www.vcisinc.com/clarinetcds.htm, items CD211 and CD017.

The Bonade CD appears to have gone out of print. Barnes & Noble doesn't list it, and Amazon has it only at high prices. You should grab both of them from van Cott quickly. These CDs are not at the top of the best-seller list, and they could disappear at any time.
