Louis DeSantis's New Studies for Clarinet is Available

Just an FYI -- This had apparently been out of print for a while, but has been recently made available. A teacher recommended it to me, and I was able to find it at Luyben's Music

For background, Louis DeSantis's New Studies for Clarinet is a pedagogical collection blending Italian bel canto style with advanced technical work, focusing on orchestral excerpts from composers like Tchaikovsky, Liszt, and Rimsky-Korsakoff. These studies feature daily exercises in all keys, extensive trill studies, and, notably, two short duets.

Luyben's Music will be ordering some to keep on hand (the first one going to me, apparently), so I wanted to let other clarinetists know that it is available there (and for a reasonable price, btw)

Note: I have no connection to the publication or the music store.

If so, I have a copy. It is a good book. DeSantis was a fine player from the few clips I have heard

Yes! Looks like the same book and the same publisher. Two different places it can be purchased.
