 Is Barret Obsolete?

In another thread (http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=10&i=9846&t=9846), sylvangale wrote a comment about the Barret studies.

I think this deserves its own thread! Here's what he said, and my comments:

<I recommend neither edition. Barret is obsolete and the Schuring edition is its death-knell*.>

Thank you for saying that, Stephen! While I appreciate (and benefit from dealing with) the technical issues that get addressed in Barret, I found the most of the etudes hackneyed and unmusical, and found it difficult to want to spend more than the minimum necessary time on them. (That's why I switched to Prestini.)

I also agree with your assessment of the "Melodious and Practical" books --they do not address oboe-specific technical issues all that well. But they are really nice little pieces of music. More than once, I have wished there were piano accompaniments to some of them.

I'll have to take a look at the Andraud series. I think I've got them somewhere around here. Doesn't (didn't?) Southern batch them up and sell them as a set with a bunch of other older titles?
