Following up on Elements of Contemporary Clarinet Technique, this collection of concert etudes was written in collaboration with my great friend and colleague, Andy Hudson. Inspired by the wonders of the universe, this collection of pieces targets various basic and contemporary techniques. Each etude is designed to be performed and is not merely a technical exercise, and is accompanied by a written master class and performance guide, as well as any necessary fingering charts. The final etudes combine various techniques that the previous etudes have explored. Below is a listing of the 22 etudes in this collection. The total duration of all of these pieces is roughly 50' to an hour.
SPACE BASS is available for purchase directly from Conway Publications. See below for sample pages from the book.
