Re: good books for sight reading

SunnyDaze,

Yes, by all means play your Scots fiddle tunes on the clarinet! Play samba, tango, bossa-nova, jazz, folk songs--everything. Get Hymie Voxman's Classical Studies for clarinet (a fat book at a lean price) for Bach and Handel transcriptions. The pulsations of Baroque music add life to the clarinet. The Gabucci book is fine and you should read through it, but it's still in the narrow classical/romantic/operatic orbit, and there's lots of planets in the musical solar system besides that one. Get your musical telescope revolving to take them all in!

Speaking of Scottish music, do you know the clarinet solo from Mendholssohn's "Scottish" Symphony 3?
