Based on the Etudes of Franz Wilhelm Ferling. Piano Accompaniments on the CD, composed and performed by John Walker. The Thirty-two Etudes by Cyrille Rose are to clarinetists what the Twenty-Six Selected Studies of Joseph Henri Altes are to flutists. They are an indespensible method of wind playing for musicians to learn phrasing, to incorporate implied harmonic contrasts in solo playing, and to understand the finesse and control of the air stream.
