" What can be better than a Samba to tackle the Syncopation with fun! In the second part, the player will have to articulate the syncopation to become a credible Samba player! The sounds of a "reco-reco" or a "pandeiro" (small Brasilian drums) could be added to make this Samba even more captivating! " - Alain LOPEZ

" Here is a beautiful sonata with accompaniement by a second clarinet. Work carefully ornaments (grace notes, trills with their endings, gruppetto...) in order to play them without haste. Keep in mind a beautiful sound; you are free to apply the nuances that you like; do not harden the staccato notes and sing well in the three movements. In the adagio movement, bar 28, do a little cadence on the second fermata, you will personalize even more your interpretation. " - Renaud ESCRIVA

" Here again is a beautiful sonata with accompaniement by a second clarinet. Work carefully ornaments (grace notes, trills with their endings, gruppetto...) in order to play them without haste. Keep in mind a beautiful sound; you are free to apply the nuances that you like; take care not to play music with the same nuances on repeats and answers. Vary your play and follow the phrasing and metronome markings. The second clarinet is very often in the spotlight and it must maintain and boost the tempo. " - Renaud ESCRIVA

" My first Duet for beginners who will be able to tackle, thanks to the melody, the intervals of Thirds, Fourths, Fifths and Sixths with calm and fun, in a different way than running over one's scales  " - Alain LOPEZ

" This Piece, written for two novice clarinetists, is composed using pentatonic mode, very used in traditional Chinese music. It is built in two parts: one slow introduction, followed by a rather fast theme, which is accelerating progressively up to the end. It is a perfect piece for a first duet: your students will be able to play together as soon as at the end of their first year of practice! " - Nicolas JARRIGE
