Agreed on the book. The chapters on the high clarinets and the bassett horn are beautifully done, some of the best things I've read on either subject, but there are some serious gaps in a couple of the other chapters. This same book has a chapter on the C clarinet, which is certainly no more common than the alto. Still I find this book a very valuable reference and recommend it to any on this list.

I did play alto once in an orchestral piece and there was even a solo. This was thirty years ago so i don't remember it's name even although I still remember the odd little solo! In fact I use it to warm up the alto and the basset.

Of course what we complain about in this book we could also complain about in The Clarinet. There are the occasional pieces on bass but I haven't seen one on Eefer for awhile and I can't think of a single one on alto or contrabass, can you?
