The Bohlen-Pierce Clarinet
Abstract Repertoire in Bohlen-Pierce (BP) tuning has grown significantly since the debut of BP clarinets in 2008. Literature specifically dedicated to the BP clarinet, on the other hand, is still rare. Practice-led research conducted by the author provides useful materials about the BP soprano and tenor clarinets, such as contemporary playing techniques or acoustical conditions. The current state of repertoire is shown; exemplary analyses of compositions featuring one or more BP clarinets are given. A new BP specific notation is introduced; it has been developed from a practical point of view and has gained great acceptance among musicians performing in BP. Beside using BP as the (only) tuni...
György Ligeti im Spiegel seiner Hamburger Kompositionsklasse
György Ligeti is a composer whose stance always extended into a multidimensional field. The old and the new in music, or, more generally, artistic and scientific thinking as a whole, were his closest and most inspiring companions and everything new had to be further developed. Yet for him, nothing could be really new without a deep relationship with the old. And the power of the old had to be woven into every new idea. This necessity to subsume what came before into all things new was also his "torture rack". His students in Hamburg experienced this great seeker, this indeed desperate seeker in a most intense way. And he imbued upon us the extreme necessity of taking the next steps, and challenged us to participate and challenged us as, in a great game, to join in the search. A great many of György Ligeti's students collaborated on this book. The result is a colorful bouquet of articles, some of which provide astonishing insights into the person, the teacher, the composer György Ligeti, and all in all include many aspects that would scarcely be accessible to a musicologist coming from outside this inner circle.
Mein Blick auf Ligeti / Partch & Compagnons
Dies ist meine Schriftensammlung von 1981 bis 2017. György Ligeti und Harry Partch kommen darin zentral vor. Sie beide haben wesentlichen Einfluss auf meine Denkweise und meine Kompositionen gehabt, welche ich immer wieder eingestreut in einer Auswahl beschreibe. Ich widme mich aber auch anderen Komponisten wie Pierre Boulez, Gérard Grisey oder Ben Johnston und meinen Freunden Sidney Corbett, Hubertus Dreyer, John Fonville, Hans Peter Reutter oder Mari Takano. Es geht immer wieder um die Entdeckung neuer Harmonik und Melodik jenseits unserer alten 12 Töne, um neue rhythmische Erfindungen jenseits der alten "Avantgarde". Mich faszinieren Musiken seit jeher von außerhalb Europas. Dem gegenseitigen Reagieren der verschiedenen Musiken gilt mein Hauptaugenmerk.
New Directions for Clarinet
Phillip Rehfeldt has assembled here techniques of dealing with clarinet performances as they have evolved since 1950. He catalogs contemporary practices that differ from those formerly standardized, provides perspective on performance capabilities and limitations, and includes suggestions for performance based on his own experience. The new edition has been completely rewritten, corrected where necessary, and updated. Rehfeldt has added the complete list of William O. Smith's clarinet compositions and recordings to the previous listing of his early multiphonic fingerings. The new edition also includes an appendix containing Eric Mandat's quarter-tone fingerings; a second, extensive music bibliography, the "International Update"; and an updated and annotated bibliography of music literature.

If I Were a Book
This sweet celebration of the magic and wonder of books will delight readers of all ages through André Letria's whimsical illustrations of a book as a kite, a tent, a ship, and more are paired with José Jorge Letria's thoughtful musings on the joys of reading. In the hands of this internationally acclaimed father-and-son duo, a book becomes a mountaintop with a spectacular vista ("If I were a book, I'd be full of new horizons"), and an endless staircase of imagination ("If I were a book, I would not want to know at the beginning how my story ends"). Seamlessly weaving together art and prose, this petite tribute to a reader's best friend makes a timeless addition to every bookshelf.
