This work provides for the first time, the complete English translations and analyses of the first known, Classical-era pedagogical treatises for the clarinet. The project makes available valuable information on performance techniques used by Classical-era clarinetists, particularly in Amand Vanderhagen’s discussions of the embouchure, reeds, and embellishments. In addition, it demonstrates Vanderhagen’s influence on subsequent clarinetists.
Reviews
“. . . the first study which fleshes out in any great detail [Vanderhagen’s] life and work, as well as presenting an English translation with commentary on his two clarinet methods written for the Classical five-keyed clarinet.”
– Prof. David Ross,University of Texas at El Paso
“. . . much more than a welcome addition. It is almost a revelation. . . . It is critical to know how we have evolved on our instruments to better inform our performance and our teaching.” – Prof. Steven Cohen, Northwestern University
