Recently at a used book sale I got a copy of what I believe to be Baermann 2 (the book itself is referred to as "2nd Division"). I've never before had occasion to use any Baermann books, so before I wade into this one, I'd like to know if the Baermann that is considered standard these days differs substantially from the book I have.
It helps that the student who once used my book wrote down the dates of his assignments. He evidently started in December 1936, and was most of the way through the book by October 1938. There are no later dates, so he may not have finished; then again, the first several pages have no dates on them either, so either before, after, or both, he just may not have been writing in the book itself.
Anyway, to tear myself away from the clarinet studies of an aspiring student about 65 years ago, I conclude that this Baermann dates from 1936 or earlier. Does anyone have reason to believe that it would have changed since then?
