Summary of This Method
This clarinet book offers a sequence of exercises and pieces designed as a true practice routine: Warm-up I (tone, embouchure flexibility) and Warm-up II (staccato) start the session, followed by a series of short pieces, each focused on a specific skill. It notably addresses air column support and third passages ("Entre chien et loup"), phrasing and syncopation ("Zénith", "Crépuscule"), control of dynamics in 3/8 ("Pieds nus"), as well as coordination and right/left hand separation in 6/8 ("Déchirant").
The method goes further with very practical playing situations: work on the high register and rhythm ("Danse des tricotets", "La Roulotte"), chromaticism and phrase shaping ("Un brin de rien"), vibrato and low register with accompaniment ("Même pas peur... !"), accents and rhythmic asymmetry ("OUla OUps !", "Les Saltimbanques"). Ornaments and style are also included (appoggiaturas, mordents, rubato with "La Petite bohémienne", "Doina", "Zigana"), not to mention specific technical challenges such as thumbless fingerings ("Les Moustiques doppler") or exploration of quarter tones / stair-step glissandi. Pieces for two clarinets ("Le Mannelier", "Funambule", "Jonglages") develop listening, ensemble playing, and character, culminating in preparation for "Le Serpent et la Mouche" (contemporary writing).
