Victor Babin, best known as half of the great Vronsky Babin Piano Duo (with his wife, the highly successful pianist Vitya Vronsky), also arranged and composed for various settings. His Divertissement Aspenois, a virtuosic tribute to the eminent clarinetist Reginald Kell, may have been inspired by hearing Kell play Stravinsky’s Three Pieces at Aspen, where they both performed.

Divertissement Aspenois

Clarinet Solo Unaccompanied

A serious clarinetist probably plays, at some point in his career, the famous Debussy Rhapsodie. More often than not, they will play with the piano accompaniment, as Debussy first wrote it. The fortunate few will perform with an orchestra. Drapkin now makes the Rhapsodie accessible for a soloist with string quartet. The solo line is faithful to the original, while the strings handle the accompaniment.

Premiere Rhapsodie

Clarinet Solo with string quartet

Drapkin details his step-by-step approach to creating the perfect reeds for his clarinet. The conversational text is amplified by photos that put you right in his workshop. All reed players should take the time to learn how to craft their own reeds. He discusses reed knives, various sandpapers, and how to "finish" a reed. When all is done, he even provides a troubleshooting guide for less-than-perfect reeds. This handy tome will bring you a skill that will last a lifetime.
