I thought an interesting topic might be What are you working on? I'm working on It's Either a Song or a Dance by Shrovener, Sonatine by Martinu, Long Long ago by Ritter, Concerto by Kurpinski, Capriccio by Suttermeister, and when I want to feel depressed about my playing Bucolique by Bozza.

Weber Concertos 1&2 trying to brush up on my multiple tonguing skills. I'm one of those "tongue-paralysed" individuals that can't get past sixteenths at mm-120, so I double and triple when I have too. Good practicing!!!!!!!!

I'm practicing Rubank Elem. Clar. Meth., Lesson 6, Eighth notes. Now ain't that a kick.

The reason? I can't spell or *say* the names of some of some of these pieces you guys talk about - maybe I should switch to banjo.
I'm practicing, one, two and, three...........are we having fun yet?

Have fun.

Klose-
scales, chromatic and thirds. I'm not working on pieces so much as technique. So much to remember and make natural. I can play lots of things badly by just reading through. I'd be happy to play a single note really well.

I play some realitively easy duet in Klose with my son. He's got the hard part, I just get to enjoy the music. We play some Nintendo music (me and the kids.) We (family and friends) play Balkan music twice a month, but we don't practice it.

Well, I had been working on Rossini's variations (not Intro, Theme and var) Scales (always scales) and some of the Cavallini Caprices. But today, I start working on music for "The Wiz" Doesn't look too bad, though.

When I was in HS, my teach played the bottom and I played the top to many, many Klose duets. These are excellent pieces to learn from (IMHO).

Just to let y'all know, I mastered the multiple tonguing skills that I needed for the Webers and am now working on the orchestral repretoir for our upcoming BJSO season which starts off with the Rite of Spring--kind of strange as Autumn will be almost here. Other stuff--the usual scales, arpeggs and the never-ends search for the perfect reed. Small town clarinetist still try'n to sound "big town".

At the moment, "Preludio y Merengue" by Paquito D'Rivera, written for Clarinet, Cello and Piano, but using the Violin part to substitute for the Bb clarinet part since I'm using the Rossi C clarinet to play it. Paquito would probably have used his Rossi in the recording.

Was working on "Viktor's Tale" until a couple of friends and I decided on playing the other one for a recital.

The usual scales and exercises to keep them up.

My clarinet's in the shop getting it's adjustable thumrest fixed...but what I've been working on for clarinet includes the following:

Prokofiev: Overture on Hebrew Themes
Saint-Saens: Sonata
Hindemith: Sonata
Weber: Grad Duo Concertant and Variations, op. 33
Debussy: Petite Piece
Mendelssohn: Sonata
Srul Irving Glick: Suite Hebraique (which I doing for my RCM Grade 9 clarinet exam in January.)

The last is mostly maitenance work, I have performed it a few times before.

But what I'm mostly concentrating on right now is my RCM Grade 6 piano exam, 2 of my 3 repetoire pieces are memorized, the last is very close to it, one of my two studies is in performance shape, and the other one is almost there, though I have performed it). My piano pieces are: Handel: Sarabande in D minor (with 2 variations), Cimarosa: Sonata in D minor, MacDowell: To a Wild Rose (which is actually a Grade 7 piece), J.S. Bach: Prelude in C minor, BWV 999, and Stephen Heller: Fluttering Leaves.

Practice my 12 major scales and arpeggios every day. Been adding a new 2 octave scale and arpeggio every 5 days for the last 70 playing days. So I have the 12 majors but still make mistakes as I go up, and have problems with the altissimo bits, especially the arpeggios where I go up to the 9th, so F.

Have also added two dorian minors so far, Eb and F, and onto F# next playing day.

Practice the clarinet part for When I'm 64 most days.

Been transcribing Buddy Defranco's version of Autumn leaves. Got the main part of the song down fairly well, and have the repeat an octave higher not as well.

Starting onto the solo that follows that. I think some of the solo will be too fast for me, but I will work on it slowly.

Not sure what comes next, maybe Satin Doll.

Pretty much the same stuff that Robert Spring uses for warm-ups and general maintenance (but not as FAST!). Then I "woodshed" difficult technical excerpts I'm having problems with ... usually from one of the ensembles I'm playing. I use a metronome and work back to front on a phrase. Finally, just some music for enjoyment, maybe working on an easy concerto or such ...

Due to very limited practice time, I rarely play exercises or etudes.

I am not under the stress that full-time professionals are or many students. And at the age of 62+, you've lost some of the "fire in belly" that you once had ... you like to just sit in a rocking chair on the front porch and "whittle and spit" while trying to keep the neighborhood kids off your lawn ...

Aharon Harlap Concerto
Rossini Theme and Variations (the thread on this board inspired me)

I just bang through 'em. Not trying to impress anyone, just enjoy the music! (seeing as I'm not prepping for a recital or anything of that sort...)

Just bought, and plan to read through eventually, the Hartke Concerto and James MacMillan concerto, Ninian. The Hartke is a splendid piece. MacMillan is tough - I think recordings of both are available on YouTube. So is the Harlap.

Rose etudes and church music by camp kirkland. Not anything vaguely exciting. Plus the usual scales and long tones. Sometimes some jazz improv if I have the time.

(Of course this is meant in jest)

Seeing as I'm finding the "Nielson" way too easy and boring to master, I'm looking to combine its play with breaking the head spinning world record.
