We have discussed previously the most difficult solos for clarinet. I thought it might be interesting to vote for your most difficult etude book. My votes are;
Zitek 16 Modern Studies
Jettl 18 Etudes
Perrier 22 Modern Etudes

Any etudes by Jettel are difficult. Toughest I ever attempted. But they don't come close to Martino's "A Set for Clarinet" (I know that's not an etude) I'll be looking up these others you listed. Never heard of them before.

Kalmen Opperman's Intervalic Permutations. It's full of familiar-looking chord progressions, but all of them are altered. You feel like a beginner every time you start a new one. Kal told me that Harold Wright said he used them any time he got too confident.

I invite all of you who are curious about Jettel to check out the recording I made of 5 of his most difficult works. .. "concert etudes" he calls them. Four of them came from volume 3 of "The Accomplished Clarinetist" and the other is a stand alone concert etude on the Midsummer Night's Dream Scherzo. Jettel is wonderful if you don't overdo it. Jettel requires comprehensive skills: clarinet, music and mental. Incidentally, they all have piano parts which are also tricky.
Etudes are only useful when learning them addresses specific things. There are those Sarlit etudes on Chopin and Schumann piano music which are almost unplayable at tempo, but ultimately they are not very good etudes because their practical application is limited.

Jettl and Opperman really push it. try writing your own.
