I took my volumes of Pamela Weston's Clarinet virtuosi of the past and looked up
the Selmer family. This what I could find:
Henri never made it to the US of A.
Frederic made it to Algiers ( in Algeria, North Africa)
Alexandre (1864-1953) became first clarinet in the Boston Symphony Orchestra
before the turn of the last century. Later he played in the Cincinnati Symphony
orchestra and New York Philharmonic and became a fine teacher. In 1913 he left
the American branch of Selmer in the hands of George Bundy andreturned home to
France.
So I guess it was just a slight slip of the mind on behalf of Avrahm Galper, and
the story might be considered true.

In connection with different materials I have an anecdote related to me
by Rosario Mazzeo.

Avrahm Galper
That's agreat story, Avrahm, but i think you got the players wrong.
I doubt if Henri Selmer played with the Boston Symphony. Anyway,
I'm fairly certain that the player was Gaston Hamelin who had been
Rosario's teacher at one point.
