I think there are a lot of things that have to be cleared up, relative
to German Clarinet-Playing
I dont think there was a restriction playing metal ligatures. Its
only, that a string ligature produces a little darker sound, which
was typical for the German way of playing.
I use a Winslow Ligature, which was no problem to anyone (i dont play
with the Berliner Phil.), because the sound of it is ever more dark,
which I like.
When I first came it to my teacher Sabine Meyer, she was quite
interested, and now also has one at home (I dont know if she plays
it now)
There is a big change in German Tradition due to Clarinet playing at
the moment, some Orchestras even allow Boehm Clarinets, which seems
to be a big problem in the past.
I am optimistic about the future because French and German playing
Tradition seem to near. The differences in sound and Conception
vanish from day to day. Just take a look at Paul Meyer, the French
Clarinetist, no one would say that he is playing typical French...or?
