Editorial Reviews
Review
' ... illuminating and surprisingly readable.' Early Music Review
'Colin Lawson's success as both an esteemed academic and dynamic solo clarinettist is brilliantly illustrated in his latest publication. An enlightened journey through all elements of the historical clarinet. A thoroughly informed and instructive publication, and a worthy addition to Lawson's other Cambridge [University] Press publications. Yet to be bettered.' Music Teacher
'All clarinet students who love and play the instrument should read this book. Lawson is one of that rare breed that can play and write equally well.' Early Music Today

Book Description
This guide, written by one of the foremost interpreters of early clarinet music, is intended for all clarinetists with a desire to investigate music of earlier periods. It contains practical help on both the acquisition and playing of historical clarinets, while performers on modern instruments will find much advice on style, approach and techniques, which combine to make up a well-grounded, period interpretation. Most importantly, case studies that include the music of Handel, Mozart and Brahms help recreate performances as close as possible to the composer's original intention.
