These famous clarinet excerpts from the classical repertoire afford the clarinetist the opportunity to perform these masterworks with a full orchestra. Includes selections where the performer functions as 'soloist' as well as an integral member of the orchestra. At times he or she doubles the melody in an accompanying passage, a vital lesson for any clarinetist.
Includes a high-quality printed solo part for B-flat clarinet ('Waltz of the Flowers' also for A clarinet) and a compact disc containing a complete version with soloist, in split-channel stereo (soloist on the right channel); then a second version in full stereo of the orchestral accompaniment, minus the soloist.
