As a new person on this list, and a former clarinetist (it's been a long, long
time...) I'd like to ask a couple of questions - please pardon the repetition
if these subjects have been already taken up. Private e-mail response is
fine.

- Info on death of R. Marcellus. Was there an obit somewhere that
someone could send me (snail mail)?

- Any info in the "professional clarinet press" (what exactly that means
these days I don't know) about the new Rochberg concerto? As usual,
the concert reviews said virtually nothing about the piece itself. I can
send a copy of the program notes and an article about Rochberg (and the
genesis of the piece) that appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer to anyone
interested.

Thanks, and hello!
