I've always enjoyed working out of Jeanjean's Études Progressive et Mélodiques and 18 Études. I like the way he uses whole tone scales, odd meters, crowded key signatures, and other devices of musical Impressionism. Some of the pieces are so pretty that when I run into a difficult fingering I automatically blame the composer – "Didn't this guy ever play a clarinet?" – and then, of course, I remember that I'm practicing an ètude! I wonder if any of you know other books of studies that have similar musical qualities – I know a lot of the names from the back covers of exercise books but I don't know what they sound like. Difficulty isn't an issue as I primarily work on selected passages which offer specific challenges.

There are the Alfred Uhl studies. For some reason, they are well-nigh forgotten. Uhl was a composer in his own right and worked with the principal clarinetist of the Vienna Philharmonic when writing these studies. The great American clarinetist and teacher, Mitchell Lurie, used them regularly with his students.
