I'm planning to go to Paris in mid-April, I'm wondering if it will be cheaper
if I buy my Buffet clarinet there. Anybody have a clue?

Need recommendation for recordings of Introduction, Theme, and Variations by
Rossini, Osborne's Rhapsody, and Solo de Concours by Messager. Prefer it to
be in one CD. I already have Rossini's but I scratched it right where
Maggiore starts.

How young is too young to learn to play the clarinet? My cousin's going to be
4, I wonder if she's too young or just about okay to start learning. I think
I'll get her either an Eb clarinet or one of Leblanc's plateau (closed holes)
Bb clarinets. Well, I'm not getting it, her parents are!

Why does David Glazer sound so familiar? Who is he? He's the editor for my
version of Intro.......... by Rossini.

How do you know what grade a piece is? Is there some sort of list or
something? 'Cause there's always someone telling me what grade a piece is,
but I have no idea where they got it! Urghhh!!!!!!

Will they ever do the clarinet fest in New York City?

Did an egg come first or the chicken?

Anyone's on the list and in New York City?

Anyone a veggietariano? I'm an ovo-lacto!

Does an A clarinetto use a Bb mouthpiece or is there an A clar. mp? I don't
see any mps that says for A clarinet.

Thanks for reading!
