 What sheet music to ask for my birthday?
Author: Josje

In a month it will be my birthday and I was asked what presents I would like. I thought sheet music would be a nice idea.

I am an adult learner, I have been taking clarinet lessons since februari last year. I have been progressing nicely because I played recorder for a few years as a kid, so it wasn't all new to me. Before summer break I hope to finish my beginners method (a method you probably don't know, because it is German/Dutch). Next wil be to start Collis Modern Course, part four (didn't use the first three parts). And together with that my teacher wants me to choose somehing to my own taste.

Any suggestions? When it comes to musical taste there is so much I like, but many of the 'real' pieces are to difficult yet. But after I have finished my current method book I should be beyond the 'adapted for the real beginner' stuff.

To give you an idea about the level in the current method book: a few weeks ago a played one of Mozarts kegelduetten (nr. 9), in a few weeks there will be a fragment of Sicilienne (Maria Theresia von Paradis) (both pieces are not specialy adapted for beginners). Last piece in the book is a modern piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDIQ_llrR8o (only then on clarinet of course) There are also some pieces that train speed (which still take a lot of effort, but I am getting there). I can reaonably play altissimo up to g. Still some squeeks now and then, but most of the time I can hit them.

Maybe Mozart's Divertimento in B flat (for clarinet solo).

Best would be to consult a clarinet teacher who can gauge exactly what's appropriate but here are some suggestions.

Consider the Voxman collection recently discussed here:
Finally! A Voxman "Concert & Contest" CD
http://amzn.to/2oqUMxD
and take a look at Solo de Concours for Clarinet and Piano
for purchase here http://amzn.to/2oqV6MR

A big source of free music is here:

and a gigantic collection of clarinet music is here http://www.clarinetinstitute.com

Also see the offerings of Van Cott http://www.vcisinc.com/

For graded repertoire suggestions see http://us.abrsm.org/en/our-exams/woodwind-exams/clarinet-exams/

More generally, just google clarinet syllabus

Bach's courante or prelude from the 1st cello suite are great advanced peices.

If consider price only, Boulez's Dialogue de l'ombre double might be the most expensive sheet music for clarinet. EUR 198,95...
