Started to feel better and got interested again. There was a new book for BC mentioned on the BC page and in ignorance I deleted the reference. The only thing I can remember was that it was expensive. That's important but not off-putting. Any bass players notice it? Dave? Anybody have a clue?
Thanks,
Bob A

Hi Bob - Glad things are looking better, stay interested. I have to "renew" myself ever so often, guess it just "goes with the torritary". Re: book, a few B C group EM posts back, a question arose about the Chi. Symp. cl'ists back in the '60-70's, maybe orig. by Larry Bocaner, not sure. But, since I have an old book [1978] re: the C S O [it's title], I looked in it and found a bit of info and relayed it to L B, who said he'd try to find it library-wise. Otherwise, the other recent discussion about books, is that [on our BB] about Hoeprich's [sp?] , not yet published. Hang in there, Regards, Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

It's selling for about $40 at a internet store. Has anyone got a copy? Care to share thoughts on its format, content, etc.?

The Volta book is a bass clarinet vade mecum with text, studies, orchestral exerpts etc. Certainly worthwhile for anyone serious about the bass clarinet. I can also recommend the "Bass Clarinet Scale Book' by Martin Arnold, a Canadian who plays in the Mexico City Philharmonic. It's sort of a Baermann III for bass clarinet, with all sorts of scale-based exercises--some of them diabolical-- utilising the low-C range, but also useful for the low Eb instrument. It is also a good primer for introducing the bass clef for players new to it, with studies duplicated in both clefs.

I just got the Volta book, it is very well written and he did a wonderful job of explaining, "finding the sound". Well worth the price. I also got the Bass clarinet Scale book. This book I don't think it worth buying. I could have printed out the scales in Bass cleff, using sebelius. It's basically Albert scales in bass clef. That is something I can imagine. If you're going to read bass clef you have look at lots of music where you don't know what the next note is.

Chacun a son gout! I still feel the Scale Book has a whole lot more to offer than I could print out for myself in Sibelius! And the exercises utilising the low-C range are not duplicated anywhere else, to my knowledge.
