Notes for Clarinetists will quickly become a go-to book for clarinetists of all levels, from amateurs and students to top professionals.
Dr. Marie Ross, The Clarinet
With clear and precise prose, the chosen point of view for analysis of each work is eminently practical and designed for the reader to easily identify the most important points [of each piece]The books utility, especially for professors and practitioners, is indisputable. We all know how frequently print editions include mistakes. Rice, through his thorough research, anticipates these errors, always providing corrections and naming sourcesNotes for Clarinetists [is] an indispensable tool for professional clarinetists, professors, students, amateurs and researchers.
Pedro Rubio, Quodlibet
In clear contours, Albert Rice here compiles useful information for everyone engaged with the clarinet, offering insight into the structure and historical background of each of the works discussed. A highlight of the book is that it concentrates on composers of the twentieth century, so the reader can incorporate works rarely played here into his or her repertoryand of course the warhorses are not absent.
Rohrblatt
Notes for Clarinetists also fills a gap in clarinet scholarship. While numerous books cover the history of the instrument, performance techniques, individual composers, or specific pieces, there have been few surveys of the core repertoire for the instrument. Rice's volume achieves this admirably. It provides a treasure trove of information that can get any clarinetist started on the road to understanding and performing some of the most important pieces in the repertoire. While each chapter provides a snapshot of a musical work, the organizational formula ties the individual chapters together in a cohesive whole. Rice's enthusiasm for the literature is evident throughout, making this an informative and enjoyable read. Notes for Clarinetists deserves a place on every clarinetist's shelf.
