David,
Then do you think that Bonade and Cahuzac were anomalies in France
since their sound was darker? Also, is Karl Leister a true representative
of the German sound? I've heard some say that his sound is more like the
Vienna school of clarinet sound. I've heard other German players and some
have a small nasal sound with vibrato - what I thought to be characteristic
of the old French school.
Were there that many German clarinetists in American Orchestras in
the time of Bonade? What about Gino Cioffi in Boston and Bellison in NY.
I'd have to look back in my Clarinet mags for more but those two come to
mind. I can't offhand think of some German clarinetist in US orchestras,
but I'm sure there were.

Dan
