INFORMATION TO USERS This manuscript has been reproduced from the microfilm master. UMI films the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from any type of computer printer. The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction. In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Photographs included in the original manuscript have been reproduced xerographically in this copy. Higher quality 6" x 9" black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations appearing in this copy for an additional charge. Contact UMI directly to order.

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.
