This collection features clarinet studies designed to enhance both musicality and technical skills, written in a format similar to its predecessor, 40 Modern Studies. The pieces vary in style, encompassing modern Classical, Jazz, and Rock, and are crafted in comfortable keys for clarinetists. Each study is of moderate length, making them accessible yet challenging for students at elementary to advanced levels (1-8). This selection not only aids in developing musicianship and technique but also serves as attractive performance pieces suitable for examinations. Among the diverse titles are Horizon, Windsor March, Waves, Hungarian Lament, and Intermezzo, alongside others like The Organ Grinder's Apprentice, The Sheriff, and Diversion. Additional pieces include Blue Waltz, Destiny, The Swinger, Staccato Dance, and Loops, culminating in titles such as Hocus Pocus and New Work. This compilation is an excellent resource for clarinet students seeking to improve their skills while exploring a wide range of musical genres.
