Re all the above:
1) Did this reply get thru?
2) Can someone analyze the Klezmer style ie slur-ry, loose emboucher-y,
rhythmically creative etc?Can somone attempt to _define_ the style
qualitatively etc? What do I do to imitate it besides a lot of glisses
and minor key references? Is it tune or context sensitive? Is it just
plain sloppy clarinet playing? What is its origin....lets talk Klezmer!
We all know it is really Scotish anyway..right lads?
