Published by Routledge in 2005, available from Amazon

 

A collection of essays written by specialists and performers in the field of music and musicology, The Versatile Clarinet examines the evolution of the clarinet and clarinet playing throughout the instrument's history. "The Versatile Clarinet" is wide-ranging survey of the types of music that have been played on the instrument, key players, and issues facing clarinetists as they seek to expand the instrument's repertory and recognition. The topics covered include everything: playing early and historic clarinets; jazz clarinet technique; contemporary and avant-garde music; klezmer clarinet; and, the history of clarinet recording. The book will appeal to clarinetists, music historians, musical instrument scholars, and general readers interested in the development of this important instrument.

 

 

 

 

I wrote the contemporary music chapter in Colin Lawson's Cambridge Companion to the Clarinet first published in 1995.
