How to Use This Book

'The Melodious Etudes for Clarinet are based on the vocalises of Marco Bordogni. These vocalises are considered to be some of the most musically appealing in the vocal repertoire. They have been carefully transcribed and arranged to be suitable for use in the study of the clarinet.

Playing lyrical music is the vehicle by which instrumentalists improve their musicianship. With these etudes, the student will work on phrasing, tone quality and line direction. Sonority of tone is a key element in successfully mastering etudes. This collection combines fifty-four of the most popular Bordogni vocalises and continuously works on these important musical skills. The etudes contain a wealth of material to build technical facility in a wide variety of keys.'
