The clarinet method op. 63 by Carl Baermann from 1867 is still a standard work in classical clarinet education today. The thoroughly revised new edition aims at reviewing the educational concept, which is still valid today, for modern lessons, adjusting the music and texts, and sensibly complementing the teaching contents.The editor who draws on many years of experience as a clarinettist in an orchestra and university lecturer of clarinet has succeeded in adapting the valuable teaching material to the requirements of today while maintaining the basic methodology. The result is a total of 7 volumes:Clarinet Method Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (ED 21761, ED 21762)Clarinet Method Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, with 2 CDs each (ED 21761-50, ED 21762-50): The CDs contain the piano accompaniment for the performance pieces, with and without clarinetTune Book 1 and 2 (ED 21763, ED 21764): piano score of the method's performance pieces, with additional inserted clarinet partDaily Exercises (ED 21765): systematic scale, interval and chord exercises in all keys, complemented and published separately from the original methodDue to trilingual nature of all editions (German, English, French), they can be used universally.About the revision:The musical text is based on the first edition of the method. Only a few differences concerning the articulation as well as some misprints and typographical errors were revised. By deleting the historical fingering instructions for the German fingering system, the clarinet method not only has a clean and, compared to the original, more clearly structured layout, but can also be used universally. The content of the text and the performance directions of the original were linguistically modernized and occasionally extended by further ideas from the teaching practice, such as concepts for warming up, breathing exercises, literature suggestions or tips for daily practising. Further additions of scale and triad studies in all major and minor keys make this method a comprehensive and thorough work of study which not only serves as teaching material for young and adult beginners, but is also a valuable compendium of scale exercises and studies for advanced musicians and is ideal for training velocity and dexterity.The Clarinet Method Vols. 1 and 2 contain not only scales and technical fingering exercises but also Baermann's popular performance pieces, like Romanze (No. 14), which are ideal as performance pieces, yet at the same time train both technique and musical expressiveness. The systematic scale, interval and chord exercises in all keys, however, were removed and are published separately in the volume Daily Exercises (ED 21765) for reasons of clarity.The two textbooks are available with or without CDs. The editions with CDs contain two audio CDs each which were recorded live by the editor and which contain a classic audio version of each performance piece as well as a pure piano version for playing along. / Clarinette

Engravings for Large Ensemble:i) Chalcographyii) Pantograph / Etchingiii) Xylography / LithographyEngravings was composed for the Ensemble Modern as part of the 2013 International Ensemble Modern Academy and it is dedicated in admiration to this iconic group of soloists.Whilst many art forms largely depend on space music has a thrilling relationship with time. Time serves as a canvas for composers and compositions can in many ways also be described as sculpted time. Ancient Greeks had two words for time Chronos (time in the traditional sense) and Kairos (the opportune moment). The former is quantitative and the latter qualitative. This distinction is very important as we live our lives in chronos but experience most of the important events of our lives in kairos. For me the art of music composition highlights this relationship; whereas music cannot exist without chronos it is the kairos that makes it worthwhile—the pursuit of supreme moments.As an art form engraving is very lengthy and painstakingly process-driven not unlike composing and techniques instruments and types of engraving directly inspired this three-movement composition. At times the inspiration lies in the engraved artefact itself. At others I am interested in the technical process or the instruments utilized. Methods of production depend on the materials used: Chalcography xylography and lithography are engravings on copper wood and stone respectively and these are represented both literally and conceptually by the ensemble either in colour or scope. Pantograph is an engraving machine based on parallelograms where the movement of one point in tracing an image is produced identically in other points and etching refers to the method of making prints from a metal plate. Whilst beauty is found in the finished engraving there are also moments of beauty in the process of creation itself. Therefore Engravings uses this art form to explore both the uniqueness of these concepts but also
