A performing and teaching guide to the clarinet excerpts in five major works for band

Most clarinetists perform at some point in their playing careers, whether as students, amateurs, or professionals, in bands and/or orchestras. While many published resources exist for clarinetists wanting to study or perform orchestral music, almost nothing is available in published form for the band clarinetist. The purpose of this study is to afford clarinetists and band directors a resource for the study and performance of the clarinet parts in major works for band. These works include Hammersmith: Prelude and Scherzo by Gustav Holst, Licolnshire Posy by Percy Grainger, Theme and Variations Op. 43a by Arnold Schoenberg, Symphony in B-flat by Paul Hindemith, and Slnfonletta by Ingolf Dahl
