Balassa & Berkes - Klarinettenschule

György Balassa and Kálmán Berkes Clarinet Tutor has stood the test of time over decades, and its first volume takes three aspects into account: diversity, continuous technical development, and characteristics that are unique to Hungarian music. The publication for novice players is rooted in its use of Hungarian folk songs, but it also contains some classical compositions, along with works by 20th century Hungarian composers. The two composers have also included pieces written for two clarinets to help prepare students for later practice with polyphonic music.
