Re: Book with famous clarinet excerpts

I second Ken Lagasse's recommendation of https://www.woodwindexcerpts.com/clarinet. The selections there are just a beginning but the recorded excerpts should be part of every clarinetist's education. I had forgotten at just how fast a clip Szell made the Cleveland Orchestra play Midsummer Night's Dream! He slowed it down just a bit for the London orchestra but still quite a romp. The diverse playing styles on the Tosca solo show that interpretation of classical music is anything but mechanical and uniform.

I wish Peter and The Wolf and the Bartok Concerto for Orchestra had been included, but there might be copyright limitations preventing that.
