Re: Your favourite unknown music

Great music of any kind is great on clarinet. Get with a good pianist and play the Brahms Violin and Cello Sonatas. Yes, you'll have to transpose, but it's much more than worth the effort.

Keep your good pianist and play Schumann's Dichterliebe, which is a string of perfect pearls, beginning with the first song, "Im Wunderschönen Monat Mai." Study the German and English translation and play the meaning as well as the notes. My favorite recording is Peter Pears and Benjamin Britten. Experienced accompanists will be able to play the piano part a step lower as a matter of course. Ask an organist, who transposes all the time.

Then go to Schubert's Die Schöne Müllerin, and the entire Schubert output.

Then go to the Stephen Foster Songbook http://www.ezfolk.com/library/songbooks/foster/stephen-foster-1/contents/contents.html Listen to Jan DeGaetani and try "If You've Only Got a Moustache."

All of these are available free on IMSLP, which is down at the moment. Lots of them are in sharp keys, which you'll need to transpose on the A clarinet. Read in bass clef.

All of this is MUCH better than unknown clarinet music. It's by the world's great composers, and you're not a complete musician if you don't know it.
