Written by Gabriel Yared composer to the scores for The English Patient Cold Mountain and The Talented Mr Ripley this folio of 20 original Clarinet pieces has been designed to inspire andencourage duettists especially teacher/pupil collaborations. The idea grew out of composer Gabriel Yared’s own learning experience which suggested a need for one part to be written for the experienced teacher and anotherfor the developing novice.The duets themselves progress from beginner to advanced levels gradually addressing new technical problems as they go as well as providing varied and stimulating music to play.Theaccompanying CDs includes a full recording of each duet as well as two alternative playalong versions each giving prominence to one part or the other.The publication comes with individual parts completing a package thatwas developed composed and produced as a completely original way of learning clarinet duets.

Any of these pieces would be an exciting and popular choice for the concert programme. Both clarinet parts are of moderate difficulty and the pieces are presented with easier arrangements at the beginning progressing to those that are a little more challenging.Today's klezmer comprises a wide range of styles extending from traditional ensembles to 'crossover' with jazz pop and rock. This collection of ten arrangements from the clarinettist and composer Helmut Hödl contains popular melodies as well as lesser-known folk songs. Two additional compositions from Helmut Hödl himself complete the collection. All share a common basis of deeply expressive themes wherelaughter and sadness are reminiscent of language and song.
