Product Description
Two sets of essential etudes and studies for the clarinet are available for the first time in one low-priced volume. True musical gems, the 40 studies develop dexterity and are frequently practiced for technique. The 32 etudes are highly musical compositions that emphasize the range and scope of clarinet performance.

Excellent content, bad binding, 2008-07-24
This book combines 32 Etudes and both volumes of 40 Studies into a single book. These three volumes are excellent for developing the five principles of clarinet playing and are three of the most well-known clarinet method books. Unfortunately, the publisher has used a standard "perfect binding" so the book will not lie flat upon a music stand. A saddle-stitch, comb, or spiral binding would have been much more appropriate and useful. I would highly recommend finding the original Fischer editions even though collectively they cost more. (Five stars for content, one star for presentation, three stars overall.)
compare to SMC's version edited by David Hite, 2008-07-10
The product description for this item is inaccurate. It says that this is the first time that the 40 studies and 32 etudes have been together in one book. Southern Music Company publishes a compilation of all the Rose studies, plus the 9 caprices, edited by David Hite, and has done so since 1986. It's called "Artistic Studies: Book 1--From the French School", and the catalogue number is B362. The price is between $12 and $15, so this Dover edition may be an advantage that way. I have not seen this new Dover edition, but I have owned the other since 1988, and it's a great way to get all the Rose clarinet exercises. My first clarinet teacher had me get the separate volumes pub. by Carl Fischer back in the 70s, and I wish they had had these volumes then. I require all of my high school clarinet students to get this book, because these exercises, particularly the 32 Etudes, are valuable teaching/learning tools. The 32 Etudes go through almost all the keys, including minors, and include both technical and lyrical material.
