When I played in New York, I invariably wound up playing second to a
wonderful player who owned only one clarinet, in A. He was born in
a small village in Italy and his family could only afford one
clarinet. He played everything on that instrument and he did so with
such ease and such elegance that I was in awe at his ability to do
that. He said that it was all due to his training in solfeggio.
