Notes for Clarinetists

Albert R. Rice holds a Ph.D. from Claremont Graduate University. He is a clarinetist, author, researcher, appraiser of musical instruments, past president of the American Musical Instrument Society, and review editor for the AMIS Journal and Newsletter. He has written three books on the history of the clarinet published by Oxford University Press and Four Centuries of Musical Instruments: the Catalog of the Marlowe A. Sigal Musical Instrument Collection published by Schiffer Publications; is a retired librarian; and was a musical instrument museum curator. In 2011, he was awarded the American Musical Instrument Society's Curt Sachs Prize honoring lifetime devotion to scholarship related to musical instruments, and the 2011 Nicholas Besseraboff Prize for the most distinguished book-length work in English published in 2009 which best furthers the Society's goal "to promote study of the history, design, and use of musical instruments in all cultures and from all periods."
