Most of it was written for piano but if you have the music and his name is in the corner it's a classic.

How much is a mouthpiece for a a Selmer B in ebonite clarinet?

A good, name brand, student model mouthpiece for the Bb clarinet will cost in the neighborhood of $20 to $30. Inexpensive mouthpieces can be had for less, but it's hard to be sure how well they will play.

Step-up mouthpieces for more advanced players will probably cost $50 or more, and for professional level pieces, the sky's the limit. It's not uncommon to see professional mouthpieces that cost $200 or more.

Once a student has established a strong consistent embouchure, and can play the full range of the clarinet, (probably after a few years of lessons) a better mouthpiece that suites his/her embouchure will make a significant difference - often more so than a new step-up clarinet. at this level, mouthpieces should be tried with reeds of differing strengths to find what works best for an individual student. There's no best mouthpiece for all students.
