Concert and Contest Collection for Bass Clarinet (backing tracks)

The Concert and Contest Collection for Bass Clarinet (lovingly called “The Rubank Book” in my house) is a terrific collection of beginning and intermediate bass clarinet solos, first published in 1973 by Rubank (now Hal Leonard)

For the first time in 40 years there is finally a recording of this stuff. I got the book in 1979 when I was 10 years old and 6 months into learning the bass clarinet. I eventually played through about half of it over the course of the next 3 years. (But to be to be totally honest, I only played a few of these for the very first time when I was preparing this recording!)

Each of the downloads below includes both a performance of the piece with Bass Clarinet and Piano, and a recording of just the piano part to play along to (with a metronome counting in one measure before it starts).

Just like Suzuki violin books, only better.
