Little Concert Pieces Book 1

This collection in two volumes by Hungarian clarinetist Kálmán Berkes is intended for first-year students, and has been arranged mostly from works of ancient composers. Most of the pieces to be found here were not originally written for the clarinet. They have been used here with the intention of acquainting students at the beginning of their studies with the works of old masters. It is desirable that by gradually mastering the necessary technique, the students should develop the faculty for solo performance. These selection pieces give them initial help.
