Hi,
I'm a freelance professional clarinettist, looking to do some serious holiday practice, but need to travel light, and want to keep it fun and varied. So I'm thinking of making my own "best of" etude book and was hoping you guys could help by naming your favourite study/etude (not complete books just singular studies). I'd like to focus on studies that really hone in on different areas of clarinet technique (particularly legato, control, finger technique etc) rather than ones that concentrate on musical concepts (such as dotted rhythms etc). I own most study books and have worked through most, but would love your opinions.
Thanks!

For legato/control work-
40 Studies, C Rose, Book 1, No. 1
Recital Clarinetist, ed. Ben Armato, Adagio-Tarantella by E Cavallini
These are two I have from my small collection, but they fit your needs.

This one is an odd choice I suppose but had caught my attention on many levels of late: the Lyle 'Spud' Murphy Modern Harmonic Patterns .... no. 1.

ONE etude is pretty restrictive.
Looking forward, I see doing and redoing them all.
For clarinet technique, I recommend the Kreopsch studies. They stretch you throughout the range of the instrument.
Ignore the 1/64th notes; wipe away as many of the slashes as you need to make them comfortable (1/4s are just fine).
Read them with a fingering chart at hand so that you can find your way amongst the altissimo passages. Try starting on an alternate fingering and going-to an alternate fingering.

Which ever one helps with whatever issue I'm having at the moment.
'One' is too restrictive.
If I had to carry one book, Kroepsch, although those are in 4 volumes.

Pinky, after eeryone has posted, can you edit your original post to include all the etudes you will be putting in you book?
I just found out what an etude was a few days ago so unfortunately I connot contribute, but I am very excited that you will be making an etude book! Will the boom be something the board can buy or get our hands on?

If you want etudes that are pretty fun, I like the 'Scaramouche' and 'Overture on Hebrew Themes' ones from the Polatschek Advanced book. (They're like ultra-concentrated versions of the actual pieces.) 'Claribel' by Bozza might also be good, since it's definitely a tricky one in terms of mechanism.

Jean jean, etudes and piano duets. - wonderful and difficult, lots of fun for sure. If you can handle Rose 32 etudes start slowly with jean jean
