ABSTRACT Twentieth-century solo and chamber literature for the Eb clarinet is generally not well known in the clarinet playing community. A comprehensive bibliography and a detailed examination of this body of work is necessary to facilitate its performance and study. In this bibliography, twenty-nine works for solo Eb clarinet or Eb clarinet and one other instrument are closely examined for difficulty. Information concerning date of composition, duration, premiere, dedication, commission, and location of the score was also sought. In some cases, reviews o f the works by critics or program notes by the composer are also included. Biographical information on the composers and addresses of composers and publishers are located in the appendices. A bibliography o f larger twentieth-century works for the Eb clarinet (requiring three or more players) is also included in the appendices. Most of these works were not examined, but information on the date of composition and location of the score is included, as well as specific instrumentation, duration, and any other available information. In addition, this study contains a brief history of the large and small ensemble literature for the Eb clarinet. ii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.
