Subj: [kl] Weber: Grand Duo Concertant
Date: Mon, 21 Dec 1998 16:15:11 -0500

Has anybody else heard the Weber Grand Duo Concertant played on other
instruments? The other morning I awoke to the familiar, yet unfamiliar
sounds of that piece being performed on the violin by Gideon Kramer
(sp?). While his playing was very professional, it really made me
appreciate what a great sounding instrument the clarinet is.

Can we mildly protest this encroachment on our turf? I know it's done
all the time, but some things should be sacred, don't you think?
