Subj: The clarinet polka forever!
Date: Fri, 2 Aug 1996 23:55:53 -0400

Does anyone ever play the "clarinet polka" any more? Since I'm from
Milwaukee, Wisconsin and of Polish heritage, this is a subject of great
importance to me. Are young clarinetist going through their playing
careers not knowing this important piece of clarinet literature? I grew up
watching the polka hour - direct from Pulaski, Wisconsin on tv sunday
mornings - right before all star wrestling. Isn't the "clarinet polka"
right next to the Brahms Sonatas and the Mozart Concerto? I propose that
this should be a required piece on all freshman juries! We must keep this
trandition alive.
