This is etude number 8 in e minor. It's got tricky articulations, and some really awkward passages (quick octave leaps can be tough on the clarinet!). Like so many others of the Rose 32, this is frequently used as an all-state audition piece for high school clarinets.

About the etude project:

I've been challenging myself to practice a different etude every day and prepare it to the best of my ability in one day. This has been very helpful, but I wanted to add an additional element of pressure/nervousness. So I started recording them to post here.

It's not a real performance- I usually AM playing with a metronome, and I usually record these in a couple of takes and put them together later. I'll try to do them in a single take when possible, but usually I'll break them up.
