Absolute vilification!! If Don Gross does not repent and buy me
a hamburger or better yet a vegiburger, I shall sue him to a farthing.
I had two basset horns to play those works that require two basset
horns such as K. 626, K. 361, Elektra, and a few other works. I
made a lot of money out the second, but I never would have thought
of transposing the clarinet part of the Mendelssohn concertpieces
(unless the price were right).
