Like a technical encyclopedia for the clarinet, Etudes Progressive et Mélodiques provides a detailed guide to establishing a high standard of technique on the instrument. Jeanjean's compilation covers all aspects, from quick semiquaver studies to melodic minor études, making the book a must buy for all clarinetists. As a noted virtuoso clarinet player himself, Jeanjean's understanding of the practice of technical elements is second to none. The Etudes Progressives et Mélodiques supplies a steady development from beginning to end and with titles in five languages, this Paul Jeanjean study book cannot be missed.
