All of this banter about Neidich...

I played "Shepherd on the Rock" for Neidich at a master class this summer
in the CCM Grandin Chamber Music Festival. While I found his aesthetic to
be quite different from any other I have ever encountered, I found his
comments to be insightful and extremely helpful.

Even if you don't appreciate Charlie Neidich, know that he thinks about
absolutely every single note of music he ever plays. He is, in my opinion,
a first rate artist with a truly unique approach to the clarinet. You may
not agree with his interpretation, but know that it was carefully thought
out and executed.
