As I once wrote - All of the Rose 32 (with the exception of #22) were taken from the original oboe "48 Etudes by Ferling, Op. 31"
Actually, there are only 3 of the original Ferling Studies that Rose kept in the same key signature when he adapted them for clarinet (Rose #17, #18 and #27)
I've always felt that the exercises from the original Ferling 48 were much more difficult than the Rose adaption when he used 31 of them for clarinet.
The Ferling 48 Studies have more interesting articulation and many more ornamental figures (grace notes, turns, trills, etc...), making them a greater challenge to play correctly. You will also see different notes, different time signatures, and wide skips. The clarinet version of the Rose 32 seem almost sterile by comparison.
I would also strongly suggest purchasing the Marcel Mule (Leduc) version of the Ferling 48. Mule added 12 more studies to the original 48, making a total of 60 exercises.
Mule completed the cycle of keys by adding 2 studies in each of the enharmonic keys of Cb minor, Ab minor, Gb minor, C# major, A# minor and D# minor.
Ab minor? A# minor? Cb minor?
Guaranteed to make you stop in your tracks.
