Subj: Re: Please help - Mozart K.622
Date: Thu, 2 Mar 1995 21:50:33 -0500

Hi. I'm a sophmore in highschool. I'm looking for a
kind-hearted fellow clarinettist to give me some advice.
I'm going to be playing Mozart's Concerto K.622 for
the RI Solo and Ensemble Festival and I was wondering
if anyone could give me any tips. I'm playing movements
two and three and the thirty-seconds in the second
movement are giving me nightmares! There's also a question
of tempo in the third movement. On my music it says that
the quarter note@-----. The only person I've ever heard
play this piece (on record) is Jack Brymer with the
Academy of St.Martin-in-the-Field. He plays it quite
a bit faster. What do you guys think? Fortunately,
it's the most fun I've had playing in a long time
or I'd have gone nuts!!

I don't mean to bore you with questions, but... have any
of you know any thing about Berklee College of Music? I've been thinking
of applying there and doing concurrent enrolement my senior
year of highschool (If I get in!) Is the thought worth it?

I have one more favor to ask and then I'll go away...I also have
to do a report for Algebra (ugh!) and I was wondering
if any one out there had any thoughts on "MUSIC AND MATH"
as a subject for a paper. Please, Please, Please help me!

Thanks bunches:-) Lis Baker
