Gosh. Thanks for being supportive. Might not be a good idea to bite the hands (and their parents) that feed you.
But I know you were just kidding. I hope.

Sigh, here we go again... Can anyone list which etudes they are? The TMEA site is down, maybe because of traffic.

#35 (like all the etudes in Rose's book of 40) was adapted from a violin etude. It turns out that this etude is still popular among violinists, so you can listen to the violin version on YouTube, too (in several recordings).

It's not exactly the same: a few rhythms have changed (most notably, the violin version employs a 16th note-32nd note rhythm where the clarinet version uses straight 16ths), it's in a different key (concert A Major as opposed to concert F Major), and there are a few places where the violin plays multiple-stop notes (playing on more than one string at a time). Also, if you check the TMEA "errata" on the website, whoever picked this etude decided to modify some of the articulation from the David Hite printed version (which more or less follows the violin articulation), so the articulation will be different for you, too.

Nonetheless, it's an interesting listen, especially for someone who has worked on this etude before. (This was one of the etudes we auditioned on when I made Texas All State, oh....<counting on fingers>....21 years ago :-) )

Anyway, I thought you guys might enjoy listening to this. It kind of gives some ideas as to how to "lighten up" this little piece from the usual "rushed and heavy" treatment it gets from clarinet students. It's not intended to be a fast etude. The purpose of the etude, at least from the title given in the violin sheet music, is to be a study in staccato, and you can't really make something noticeably staccato if it's too fast, hence the "moderato" tempo. (So don't be tempted to take it too fast.)
