Altissimo Studies For Clarinet - 90 Melodious Studies
In today?s contemporary literature, the clarinetist is obligated to play in the altissimo register more often and for longer phrases than was required in most of the literature of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. For this reason, clarinetists need to be as proficient and relaxed in the altissimo register as they are in the chalumeau and clarion registers. This edition offers ninety three-line exercises of Thomas J. Filas? etudes, transcribed in keys that focus on extending the clarinet?s range gradually from D6 to A6. They are short, musically enjoyable, and extremely effective for practicing altissimo studies.
