Book one is all verbal description isn't it? Start with book 2 and don't spend too much time on the whole notes. Get right into the finger pattern exercises and all the little genre pieces that Baermann loves to write--the marches, the gypsy variations, the tarentelas, the songs, the romances, the dances-he's very good with all that. Play all the scales and arpeggios. Don't skip any of the finger pattern technical exercises. Even though they were written for the German Mueller clarinet and the Baermann improved German clarinet, they are amazingly relevant to the Boehm clarinet as well. Carl Baermann was immersed in music like a fish in water. His father was Weber's favorite clarinetist; Carl's son was a concert pianist who befriended Listz and moved to Boston. Carl was a whiz on the basset horn as well as the clarinet, and the entire family played music. His method is a window to the Romantic century and the many composers in it. In his "Complete Course vols 1-5" Carl was teaching his students to play that music with style and ease. Let him teach you as well.
