Does anybody know whether Cyrille Rose ever composed any chamber music involving the clarinet? The études are good musical pieces in their own right. Was he at all a full-fledged composer?

AFAIK, Cyrille Rose was a renowned clarinetist (principal Paris Opera, student of Hyacinthe Klose). The etudes are mostly (if not all) transcriptions/adaptations for clarinet of already existing violin etudes by other composers. I've never read that he actually composed original works of his own.

Thank you Karl. I didn't realise that these were actually adaptations of already existing material. You wouldn't think so; they are so perfectly suited to the clarinet
