Albert Edited by Julie DeRoche Book Instrumentation: Clarinet in Bb Item Number: O99X Number of Pages: 32 Publisher: Carl Fischer Music Quick Overview The Albert system clarinet, developed by Eugène Albert (1816–1890,) was a refinement of the mechanism of the famous Müller 13-keyed clarinet of 1810. Eugene and his sons, Jean-Baptiste (J.B.) (1845–1918,) Jacques and E.J. of Brussels, Belgium, manufactured and sold the Albert clarinet from the mid-1800s through the early 1900s. Eventually this system would fall out of use, as players favored the Boehm system that most clarinetists use today. Even so, the J.B. Albert 24 Varied Scales and Exercises remains the perfect clarinet scale book for the development of technical expertise, excellent intonation and beauty of sound. This newly engraved edition with alterations by Julie DeRoche offers today's clarinet students rhythmic accuracy, smoothness of tone, consistent pitch, and ever increasing speed.

I’ve been playing again for 4 years. I largely ignored fundamentals because I worked to learn my concert music so much. But now I’m more proficient at playing it’s clear I can only progress with real fundamentals. This scale book has everything I want in one book. My other books have bits and pieces but this is what I’ve been looking for, a concise compilation of scales and the commonly found patterns within each key. There is also a great how to guide at the beginning that has the best and most up to date how to learn/practice guide that I’ve found. Once becoming proficient throughout these keys, I’m anticipating I won’t have to struggle to remember what key I’m in and mark my music so much. Working through this is now my priority as Im reaching for greater freedoms and better sight reading in playing for getting these programmed under the fingers. I’ve only been using it a week. I started on Dmaj because I see it a lot in my ensembles. I’m not even fully up to suggested starting tempos and yet I’m playing more confidently in my concert music because this is helping so much! I shall never get bored with progress!! I play bb clarinet, bass clarinet, alto sax. Groups I play in are community concert band, community orchestra, community jazz ensemble, woodwind quintet and community theater pit orchestra. The easier it gets the more you can do.
