For composers AND clarinet players
Phil Rehfeldt's "New Directions for Clarinet" is a great resource for any composer or performer interested in extended clarinet techniques. I've used it a number of times to find the fingerings for multiphonics when writing clarinet pieces. Although the book was written several years ago, it remains an important work for anyone interested in exploring the vast possibilites of the clarinet. I highly recommend it.

Product Description
Phillip Rehfeldt has assembled here techniques of dealing with clarinet performances as they have evolved since 1950. He catalogs contemporary practices that differ from those formerly standardized, provides perspective on performance capabilities and limitations, and includes suggestions for performance based on his own experience.
The new edition has been completely rewritten, corrected where necessary, and updated. Rehfeldt has added the complete list of William O. Smith's clarinet compositions and recordings to the previous listing of his early multiphonic fingerings. The new edition also includes an appendix containing Eric Mandat's quarter-tone fingerings; a second, extensive music bibliography, the "International Update"; and an updated and annotated bibliography of music literature.
