Hi folks, I have just taken up the clarinet again after ten years break (!) and am really stuck for some good music. My teacher always sorted me out with music so never had to think about it and now i really need your help. I have five bagatelles and a few other bits i managed to get in the very limited selection here in Dublin but would be very keen for some other beautiful classical pieces of around grade five level and ALSO if possible some eastern european (or otherwise) folk music, gypsy kind of stuff, if you know what i mean! Or some great jazz too! Am not fussed about new popular music, musicals stuff etcI have had a look around the web and searches just become more and more confusing! If you know of any thing and also any good online sources (free or otherwise!) that deliver to UK and Ireland PLEASE let me know! THANKS!!!!!! Merry Christmas and all that

Two good Klezmer fake books to start with:
"The Compleat Klezmer" by Henry Sapoznik - get it with the CD (only in C)
"From the Repertoir of German Goldenshteyn" (C & Bb books)
Traditional resources used on this side of the pond (great if you have a C clarinet) for contra dances:
"The Portland Collection" by Susan Songer with Clyde Curley, volumes I & II, about 300 fiddle tunes in each book, C book only
"The Ruffwater Book" by Judi Monringstar, another 125 tunes in C
And:
"The Barnes Book of English Country Dance Tunes" by Peter Barnes, volumes I (436 tunes) & II (another 400) in C

Hello, Kirsti, I have been in your situation for a while (50 years). Sheet music is a must for me (no good at learning and remembering the native way). On the web there are much to be found within classical and the like (just look up IMSLP or WIMA - Werner Icking), but not so much transcribed from real performances (jazz, ethnic). Even the fake books for jazz and kletzmer are often simplified or just give the melody line.
So I have written down (transcribed) lots of clarinet music from recordings, and in case modified/ornamented/arranged for having my own library of preferred music.
In the old days I had to mail handwritten copies in an envelope, but later telefax came, then e-mailing digital photos became possible, and now the sheet music can be scanned and shared. That is, if the interested person has an e-mail address.
Today I finished an A clarinet arrangement of the Balada op. 29 by C. Porumbescu of which a guitar sheet music can be loaded down from www.free-scores.com. However, for that one I am looking for a score for accompanying.
