I'm looking for a book to keep in my case (bag) that I can pull out and play from whenever I want a little "workout". I'd prefer it to be something that isn't so Baermann-y (scales on scales on scales). Not that scales are bad, but I want to be able to pull the book out when I'm feeling sick of the regular routine, but still want to practice. So I guess I'm asking for a collection of etudes or pieces that would challenge my technique, but would also be musically interesting as well. (I have the Rose 32 and 40, so anybody that was going to say Rose, please think of something else

What about Leon Lester's 60 Rambles? They're not all that difficult (although some are harder than others), and they are fun to play.

A few that I like are:
The Kroepsch 416 Progressive Daily Studies. This one is just series of one or two line exercises (two pages of them for each tone center) that move through every major and minor scale.
Lyle "Spud" Murphy Progressive Studies for clarinet Book II. This one is amazing in that there are NO dynamic markings, so it gives you the freedom to explore phrasing for yourself (and do things differently with each reading). But most of all "Spud" had more of a popular tune or jazz idiom in mind writing these, so you can follow (in you head of course) a simpler and more entertaining chordal progression than what you find in the Rose.
Stark Arpeggio Studies. This one is quite challenging but the first exercise goes through all major keys in thirds and sixths and is a MUST to have under your belt.

I'd suggest the Voxman "Classical Studies for Clarinet." Transcriptions of solo string works by Bach and Handel. A bargain at under $9.
Best regards,

I like the Klose' book. I had a lot of trouble with it not staying open and often times falling off the stand, so I had it spiral bound and that solved the problems. I also love to play along to Hal Leonard's Jazz & Blues Playalong Solos for Clarinet. There are 14 solo arrangements and it comes with a CD accompaniment. It's a lot of fun to switch from scales and concertinos to jazz and blues.

"Scales and concertinos"? What's a concertino in this context.
