Subj: what to listen to
Date: Fri, 13 Jun 1997 10:20:51 -0400

I've been playing the clarinet for about ten years now..taking
lessons..just completed a Grade nine exam here in CAnada which
is three from the top you can go. I find my technique is improving
quite well but I have a tremendous amount of difficulty with
phrasing and musicality. Many people have suggested I need to listen
to more recordings. I do have a few recordings..the Weber, a few
Mozarts..Copeland's..but I don't know what to listen to in order
to really improve my appreciation of music and my ability to phrase
things intelligently.

If anyone can help with suggestions I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
