Friberg - Clarinet Excerpts in Context: Duets for Ensemble Mastery

Duets in this book encourage students to practice 12 of the most standard orchestral excerpts in a musical and collaborative setting. The first clarinet part is the solo line just as it appears in the literature, while the second part is a reduction of the orchestral accompaniment that highlights salient rhythms and harmonies.  Over time, the duets will serve to:

• Instill the orchestra part in the player's mind
• Inform interpretive decisions
• Regulate internal pulse
• Lend confidence under pressure

Includes commentary and notes on performance for each excerpt.
