C1048: The Clarinet by Eric Hoeprich. Yale University Press, 2008, HB, 415 pages. Eric Hoeprich, a performer, teacher, and expert on historical clarinets, explores its development, repertoire, and performance history. Looking at the antecedents of the clarinet, as well as such related instruments as the chalumeau, basset horn, and bass clarinet, Hoeprich explains the use and development of the instrument in the Baroque age. The period from the late 1700s to Beethoven's early years is shown to have fostered ever wider distribution and use of the instrument, and a repertoire of increasing richness. The first half of the nineteenth century, a golden age for the clarinet, brought innovation in construction and great virtuosity in performance, while the following century and a half produced a surge in new works from many composers. The author also devotes a chapter to the role of the clarinet in bands, folk music, and jazz. At the end for the book are lists of instrument makers and clarinet methods published before 1900, extensive notes, and an excellent index. |

C1036: The Clarinet in the Classical Period by Albert R. Rice. Oxford University Press, 2003/2008, PB, 316 pages. The author of The Baroque Clarinet (see above) presents a comprehensive study of the clarinet through the classical period, from 1760 to 1830. During the early part of this period the clarinet was transformed from a typically baroque instrument to an essential piece of the classical ensemble. Barely a half century later, in 1812, Ivan Müller developed the thirteen-keyed clarinet, which brought the instrument into the romantic age. In addition to the history, this book includes chapters on playing techniques, music for the classical clarinet, the clarinet in performing groups as well as extensive notes, a detailed bibliography, and an index of classical clarinet makers. Note: Al Rice has informed me that this new paperback edition includes some corrections. |
