Juilliard model?) without any consideration towards musicianship.

Personally, I strive to be a musician, not a clarinetist. This approach,

IMHO, is much more difficult than making sure one can play every note in

the beginning of Daphnis.<

Well, unless you manage to do both, you'll never get the opportunity to play
the opening of Daphnis, will you?
