Summary of This Book
The Legendary Series: Clarinet is a reference work for clarinetists who wish to enrich their library with a collection that is varied, refined, and durable. This limited edition brings together 100 great pieces specially arranged for clarinet, offering a very broad musical journey: from classical repertoire staples (Mozart, Bach, Schubert, Beethoven, Bizet, Vivaldi...) to the colors of 1940s big bands, not forgetting traditional jazz, klezmer, and standards from popular music.
The selection of titles allows for alternating expressiveness, virtuosity, and immediate playing pleasure: you will find iconic themes such as "Clarinet Concerto, II: Adagio," "Take Five," "Fly Me To The Moon," "Summertime," "The Girl From Ipanema," "Hallelujah," "Imagine," "Viva La Vida," and "Thriller." This diversity makes it an excellent resource for working on style, articulation, tone, and musicality, while also serving as a repertoire pool for concerts, auditions, events, or family playing.
A particularly practical feature: the chord symbols are intentionally written for an accompanying instrument in concert pitch (piano or guitar). The accompanist can thus read the chord charts directly above the staff, from the same sheet music as the soloist, which facilitates rehearsals and setup. Finally, the book is enriched with illustrations and commentary, offering a cultural dimension that ideally complements the musical work.
