Does anyone know of exercise shet music specifically written for eastern european music, i.e. Macedonian, Bulgarian Turkish etc.
I posted this on the ethnic BB but had no replys. I am having problems with improvisation and wonder if there are specific exercise books to help with this.
Best regards
Simon

I don't think I saw your response on the Ethnic Clarinet BB...
At any rate, the only books I know of for _exercises_ on this stuff are written in Cyrillic characters, in Bulgarian, and for instruments which are not clarinet.
There are a couple of books available (in the US at least) which have notations for Eastern European _tunes_...
