My favorite Benny Goodman story (and I may have it wrong, so please correct) is that at the time of his death the Brahms sonatas were found on his music stand. I have a fairly large collection of music and etudes for clarinet, but my default music, what has always been on my music stand for many years, is Voxman's Classical Studies. That's what I play most.
What's on your music stand year after year?
Bill. (P.S. I might also add that for me Bach is the "default" composer.)

A few years back, my friend Matt Glaser wrote an article on Louis for the Village Voice- I transcribed two versions of his solos on Basin St. Blues:
option/click or right click: Louis Armstrong's solos to Basin St. Blues, 1928 and 1933
Parts in Bb, of course. Enjoy!

Kroepsch daily studies (cycling through all 4 books, currently in book 2)

Each is used every morning, so they might as well stay on that stand.
And currently I'm fumbling through the Copland concerto for my own personal enjoyment.

Actually my music stand is 'folded', because for an extra-ordinary rehearsal outside our normal place we had to bring our own ... :-)
There should be :
some stuff for my Bass Class (Kibbe, Swerts,...)
some stuff for the local wind band ( Armenian Dances - reed, Yiddish dances, Sword dance from Hymn of the Highlands - Spark,...)
Beethoven's fifth - for symphony (mainly to learn to transpose C clarinet)

Except when I'm stamping on it, this has haunted my music stand for many years... a piece I played for ABRSM grade 5, by Crusell, entitled 'Menuetto from Quartet in C minor, Op. 4', arranged for clarinet/piano. It's on a dogeared page from a book, with a big '2' at the top of the page and a thing by Rimsky-Korsakov on the back. Anyone know it?
Playing it: fine. Playing it right, to my own satisfaction: think Sisyphus and that rock he had to push up hill for all eternity. Drives me crazy.

Included on my music stand is my digital kitchen timer clock which is permanently set for ten minutes. It serves two useful purposes:- 1)Each time it gets to zero and the alarm goes, I put down my clarinet for a few moments and have a jolly good stretch of my arms, my wrists, my hands and my fingers, in order to combat stiffness and the threat of RSI, and 2) It conveniently divides my practice time into ten minute slots, eg ten minutes for warm up and tone production, ten minutes for chromatic scale, ten minutes for a new scale, etc. Also on my music stand is a large handwritten reminder to myself which says: "Never practise faster than perfect!"

I remember that from many moons ago. It's in 'Clarinet Solos with Piano Accompaniment, Volume 2' edited by Dame Thea King and published by Chester. I remember the triplets at the end gave me nightmares!!
(The Rimsky-Korsakov on the other side is bad enough in it's original version...don't touch the version with piano)
Right now on my music stand...
The Nielsen Concerto
Schumann Fantasiestucke
Goddaer Clarinet Unlimited
Debussy Premiere Rhapsodie
A metronome, tuner and pencil
Who needs studies when you have arpeggios?

That's just it... if you play the menuetto at the tempo of a decent menuetto, then those triplets go at one heck of a lick. And they're (mostly) tongued. And they ain't simple arpeggios...
I find it's the perfect testbed for new mouthpiece/reed combinations. Really exercizes the instrument/player combination. :-)

I've been playing from the Alfred Uhl second book lately. Musically I like the stuff in it much better than the first book ... really enjoyable (and difficult). It sort of makes me chuckle that some of the exercises were designed to focus on problem areas of a clarinet with a different key system, and one flies through them easily on the Boehm. Ah-HA!

I have just added an extra item to the objects on my music stand - a left over and unwanted 6" x 6" mirror tile which I found lurking in my bathroom cupboard!
So many clarinet tutor books suggest that for beginners (of which I am one) it is a good idea sometimes to look at yourself playing in a mirror. I have never managed this because I don't much fancy looking at myself playing the clarinet in the bathroom. However, I have now sellotaped a small rolled up wadge of newspaper to the top of the back of the tile so that when it is on my music stand it is angled so that I can clearly see both my hands on the clarinet (and thankfully not my face!).
I am already feeling the benefit of using the mirror when I am doing slow warm up tone exercises. As it is normally impossible to see what one's fingers are doing, it is now possible to see exactly where they are and which keys they are on for which note. Quite a revelation to me!

I condone the mirror idea....ideal to see how far we lift our fingers when it's not necessary.
Well, ........ hankie .... suspended ergonomically for easy reach......sorry, I didn't tell you the real reason for this.......staring at me are photocopies (for my personal use only) of the last few pages of Ponchielli's "Dance of the Hours"......you know.....THE GRACE NOTE SECTION...........I hope I'm not alone thinking it's a b***** at the correct speed ?.....
BobT........(searching for the tippex with which to erase, not sniff.....hello there's a thought !)
