Review

' ... illuminating and surprisingly readable.' Early Music Review

'Colin Lawson's success as both an esteemed academic and dynamic solo clarinettist is brilliantly illustrated in his latest publication. An enlightened journey through all elements of the historical clarinet. A thoroughly informed and instructive publication, and a worthy addition to Lawson's other Cambridge [University] Press publications. Yet to be bettered.' Music Teacher

'All clarinet students who love and play the instrument should read this book. Lawson is one of that rare breed that can play and write equally well.' Early Music Today
