While Victor Battipaglia's dissertation was a good account of the history of the clarinet double lip embouchure for its time, before great effort and expense is offered to somehow make it more accessible than it already is (free on the web for the asking), one might wish to consult with scholars who have pursued the subject further (including the reed up position) with updated and more extensive sources. One such is Dr. Ingrid Pearson of the Royal College of Music, London. How important does she judge Battipaglia's work to be, and how does it compare as a reference source to other writings on the subject, past, present, and planned?

Gregorio Paone, a native born Italian clarinetist who has researched the history of the reed-up position (as well as double lip) in his own county, cites Dr. Pearson twice in his article "The Reed-Above Embouchure: Then and Now" in the current edition of the ICA Clarinet journal (pages 38-41) but does not mention Battipaglia. Is this from lack of familiarity or a tacit judgement that there are now better sources to draw on for the history of the clarinet embouchure? Without asking, we don't know.
