I was recommended visiting the IMSLP.Org Website, which I did.
The site has a vast number of Composers public domain Musical Pieces from all musical Periods.
You can download the various pieces or they will mail you a hard copy.
Quick question, could anyone recommend some Baroque pieces for me?
I am an Adult Beginner and would like to learn some easy pieces with no more than 2 keys
Many Thanks!

Ben,
How comfortable are you with playing over the break? Many baroque pieces are going to be composed for instruments that are higher in tessitura (i.e.- Flute, oboe, violin). While the violin can play down to a low G, many of the pieces in the baroque period didn't use it's lower register with any exclusivity, as it's just as easy to play low G as it is to play the B above the staff.
If you're comfortable crossing the break, you might look at sonatas by Handel, Telemann and Quantz. These were some of the composers that I was told to try when I was starting out on period instruments, and they weren't that difficult to play.
You might be able to find music arranged for clarinet from the Baroque Era. Since you're in Greensboro, I'd suggest checking out Moore Music Co. on Market St. They have a pretty good sized music collection. I didn't see many arrangements of baroque music for clarinet on IMSLP.
Good luck!

Go to <www.music-scores.com> lots of baroque music there for clarinet and piano, and for various ensembles. I have printed and played a lot of stuff from there.
