NEW 32 Etudes for Clarinet

Introducing New 32, a contemporary addition to the core of clarinet pedagogy that redefines the traditional with vibrant, newly-composed etudes by 16 of today’s leading composers. Taking inspiration from the widely respected Rose 32 Etudes, New 32 follows the same sequence of keys, paying homage to the foundation set by Cyrille Rose, yet propelling it into the 21st century with inventive, dynamic pieces designed to captivate and challenge clarinetists at every level. Each composer has crafted two etudes per key—one slow and reflective, the other fast and spirited—delivering a total of 32 etudes that span a range of styles, moods, and technical demands.

This collection offers a diverse experience for players of various ability levels, from intermediate students honing their skills to advanced musicians seeking new interpretive and technical challenges. The etudes explore the expressive potential of the clarinet, from lyrical phrasing and rich tonal colors to intricate rhythms and virtuosic runs, providing clarinetists with a comprehensive and modern approach to technical and musical development.

Adding to its educational value, New 32 includes in-depth commentary by Dr. Joshua Anderson, an accomplished clarinetist and pedagogue. For each etude, Dr. Anderson shares tailored insights, preparation strategies, and practical tips, empowering players to navigate complex passages, understand stylistic nuances, and bring out the full expressive range of each piece.

Ideal for students, educators, and professionals alike, New 32 is a landmark resource that not only builds technical skill but also fosters interpretive growth, making it a must-have in every clarinetist’s library. Dive into New 32 and experience a forward-looking approach to clarinet artistry and education.
