Baerman, Klose, Langenus?

I never played through any of the famous clarinet methods. All I really did was some of the Rose Studies.

I can't find anything about what the books are actually like online, much less good evaluations the editions available. You'd think that sort of thing would be available, but I can't find it.

What I'd really like to play is something with a lot of music of the sort that you might play informally for an audience. I could use some good exercises, but don't need a hundred pages of plain scales and arpeggios and long tones all written out for me. (Neither do I need reams of impossible stuff with slurred 2 1/2 octave leaps all over the place and staccato 32nd notes at 144 bpm in C# minor with impossible trills that I'll never be able to play decently anyhow.) Hard is ok. Anything that will expand my musical sense would be great. I prefer getting things right to blowing through a bunch of stuff. I thought it would be good to work through a method for the sake of fundamentals.

What is the difference between Baerman, Klose, and Langenus (and others)?

I would go out and buy them all, but I can afford one for right now.

Thank you!
