This document discusses the pedagogical pieces using extended techniques for the clarinet that I have commissioned from Canadian composers. My intention was to develop a resource to introduce the undergraduate clarinetist to extended techniques through works intended for performance. While they focus on one technique per piece and minimize the technical challenges, these pieces nevertheless explore diverse techniques and are musically interesting for performers and audiences. The techniques, pieces and composers included in this collection are: timbre trills in "Teco-Teco" by Sylvia Rickard; microtones and vibrato in "A Micro Tale" by Richard Désilets; glissando in "Sometimes Doing Nothing Leads to Something" by Shane Krepakevich; multiphonics in "Speak Out" by Chan Ka Nin; vocalization while playing in "All Good Children" by Lori Freedman; key sounds in "Clap" by Robert Lemay; air sounds in "Almost There" by Don Ross; flutter tonguing in "flutterby" by Joel Hoffman; double tonguing in "VAV" by Jérôme Blais; playing pieces of the clarinet in "Duo for one, (hand)" by Elma Miller; buzzing into the clarinet in "Leaving" by Evan Ware; and moving while playing in "Nimbly" by Melissa Hui. Because it consists of études intended for performance by a diverse group of artists, this collection provides a new approach for students and teachers to study extended techniques. This document provides commentary and context for these new works that will give teachers and students guidelines about how best to use this new resource. In each chapter, the first section considers the composer's other pieces for clarinet, uses of extended techniques, and pedagogical works as well as the composer's compositional process. The second section explains the extended technique, including its sound, execution, potential, notation, history, and pedagogy. The third section is a practical guide to learning and teaching the piece in the collection. It also discusses how learning these techniques and playing these pieces may benefit other aspects of technical and musical development. This contextual information will be useful both to students and teachers in not only learning the pieces in this collection, but also investigating other contemporary works and techniques.

Extended piano techniques, which mainly involve playing directly on the internal components of the piano, emerged early in the twentieth century, mainly in the United States. Henry Cowell (1897-1965) explored some of these techniques in short piano pieces such as The Tides of Manaunaun (1917; clusters) The Banshee (1925; glissando, pizzicato) and Sinister Resonance (1930; mute, harmonic). Several contemporary composers followed this path. Notably, George Crumb's (b. 1929) mature works combine conventional techniques with an unprecedented variety of extended techniques, including vocal and percussive effects. Although extended techniques are no longer a novelty, most pianists are still unfamiliar with them. Extended piano works are rarely performed or taught. This situation is regrettable considering the quality of these compositions, and the great potential of extended techniques to expand the piano's coloristic resources. A Pedagogical Guide to Extended Piano Techniques is designed to help pianists learn this idiom and achieve fluency. Teachers may also find it useful in planning courses at the undergraduate college level. Chapters 1 and 2 provide general information such as the development and classification of unconventional techniques, and the construction of the grand piano. Chapters 3, 4 and 5 form the core of the monograph. They contain practical exercises, composed by the author, presented in a progressive order and accompanied by detailed instructions explaining how to execute and practice each technique. From a technical point of view, natural string piano techniques--pizzicatos, glissandos, mutes and harmonics--are the basis upon which most other extended techniques are founded. Therefore, this document focuses mainly on mastering these string techniques through the acquisition of two important skills: visual techniques and aural-motor coordination. The following topics are also discussed: use of foreign objects inside the piano, percussive technique, vocal effects, and strategies to integrate various techniques into a unified musical context. Prepared piano techniques are excluded because they do not require the acquisition of performance skills, which form the essence of this monograph. Chapter 6 provides a suggested course schedule to organize the pianist's study and practice time, and offers practical advice for the preparation of performances involving extended piano techniques. It is hoped that this document will play a positive role in helping pianists gain the knowledge, ability, confidence and enthusiasm to explore and perform extended piano repertoire.

Computing power performance was important at times when hardware was still expensive, because hardware had to be put to the best use. Later on this criterion was no longer critical, since hardware had become inexpensive. Meanwhile, however, people have realized that performance again plays a significant role, because of the major drain on system resources involved in developing complex applications. This book distinguishes between three levels of performance optimization: the system level, application level and business processes level. On each, optimizations can be achieved and cost-cutting potentials can be identified. The book presents the relevant theoretical background and measuring methods as well as proposed solutions. An evaluation of network monitors and checklists rounds out the work.
