"Will serve for some time as the standard guide for a general audience as well as for musicologists."--Notes"This much-needed study traces the clarinet from its origins shortly before 1700 to about 1760.An essential sourcebook recommended for all libraries."--Choice
The Baroque Clarinet is a sourcebook for the historical study of the European clarinet during the first half of the eighteenth century. The book is based on a comprehensive study of the theoretical, musical, and iconographical evidence, and many conclusions are presented here for the first time.
"Very good book." according to Eduardo Goncalves Pinheiro. For a new chalumeau and clarinet student like me, this book is marvellous. It is fundamental to everyone who intends to know the origins of these instruments.
