What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Festival solos
Pieces are chosen for adjudicated performance, so they are short and built to show specific skills.

Clarinet edition
Written for Bb clarinet. The alto sax and other instrument editions are separate books, not interchangeable.
Detail 04
Solo repertoire, not a method
Assumes you can already read and produce a tone. It gives performance pieces, not instruction.
Detail 05

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this include piano accompaniment?
Accompaniment is typically a separate book in solo collections. Confirm before ordering if your festival requires an accompanist.
02What level is book 1?
The entry tier of the series — suitable for a first or second year clarinetist who can already read music and produce a steady tone.
03Will this work for bass clarinet?
It is the Bb clarinet edition. Bass clarinet reads in Bb as well but at a different octave, so the range may not sit correctly.
04Is this the same as the alto sax version?
No. Each instrument gets its own edition with the part transposed and the range adjusted. Buy the one matching your instrument.
