I made a recording of this etude by Cyrille Rose for one of my students. It's a cute little piece and so I thought I would post it here, too.

I'm almost willing to bet that this is a study on arpeggios (or at least broken chords).
Well it's wonderful to hear you play a solo piece for the clarinet, you really manage to sound such sweet tones from that instrument!
To me, you played it beautifully throughout, really pleasing to listen to, I was even swaying my head at parts.

Hehehe! I'm happy you liked it, though it's probably a little mechanical (I had a metronome in my ear to keep it as accurate as possible for my student).
The goal of this etude, probably more than anything, is using different articulations. It seems like there are no more than two consecutive measures articulated the same way. There are a lot of arpeggios as well, and playing this certainly requires a good amount of familiarity with them, but articulation is consistently the focus from start to finish. At least, it's what seems to give students trouble more than anything else! ^o^

Yes, well I'm used to living in a place where every performance seems like if it's being played back from a MIDI machine, so I've grown a little used to it (even though my baroque performances are nothing close to metered)
I was going to say something about that, but never having seen an etude dealing especially with changing articulations, so I kept quiet. Of course, I haven't had too much experience, as the 'etudes' I've played mostly consisted of the inventios, sinfonias and those famous fugues by Bach. But listening to it again, I do notice that it sounds quite varied in that sense!

^o^ Yeah... I never liked playing etudes much either. But all through undergrad and even well into grad school my teacher always had me doing at least one, if not two a week. I think it really helped my technical capacity, so even though it's not fun at all, I'd suggest working on them regularly.
