Myself, nothing Fancy
Major Scales, Arpeggios....flats one day, sharps the next
2 pages of the Mozart Clarinet Concerto
And revisiting an old Clarinet Method Book by Kenneth Gekeler

Not really working on anything in particular. In these days where practice time seems more available I've been doing more reading lately. Yesterday I played through Peter Schickele's Concerto and Rheinberger's Sonata (unfortunately, this is a dud of a piece compared to his absolutely gorgeous choral music). I then read through the first two pages of the Nielsen and the short but fantastic John Heins Concerto. Lastly I played through the first movement of Bijing Hu's Clarinet Concerto, "The Sounds of Pamir."

With both of my concert bands out of action, I am working on:

Scales, arpeggios, etc. (Klose versions). I do these daily year-round for 30-45 minutes.

Practice Saint-Saens Sonata for my lessons (which are being accomplished by video)

Yesterday, read through Cahuzac's "Cantilene". Today I will read Schumann's "Phantasiestuck" Op. 73. Then I'll decide which one to work on next with my teacher.

Coincidentally, I’d just started to review repertoire for solo clarinet which I had or requested for my birthday. Suttermeister, Stravinsky, Malcolm Arnold and Lennox Berkeley I had already, but Richard Rodney Bennet and Henri Tomasi are new. Any further suggestions?

Practicing the pieces my 3 bands were supposed to play in the next 2 months. Concerts were postponed. Also putting on Kooiman thumb rests. Updating and testing reeds I haven’t tried.

My normal practicing-- Method books (including my own), a little jazz, and several solos:
Spohr Concertos 1 & 3
Debussy Rhapsodie
The Daniel Wolff Concerto
Messager Solo De Concours
both the Mendelssohn Duos

I'm slated to do one of these solos (not sure which) this summer with my group (the Westchester Band) in NY, and maybe one of the Duos with the 2nd chair player. But....will there be concerts by then???
If not, guess that's my practice routine for another 10 months until 2021 summer.

The Wolff Concerto is a great piece! Glad to hear you're playing through it, Tom!

Yeah it is very good. My stand partner soloed on it with the band a couple of years ago. There's that one tricky part--I can wizz through it now....
