Do many clarinet players trace their musical genealogy? Violin teachers
encourage serious students to do such research, because the feeling of
connection with the tradition helps motivate kids to take pride in what
they're doing and practice better. Any violin student who studies with one
of the major teachers can trace the tribe quite easily, through various tomes
about the history of violins and violinists. My husband traced his ancestors
from one of his teachers (he studied with Avrahm Nasco, Naoum Blinder and
Mischa Mischakoff) all the way back to Corelli. Pianists do the same,
although I didn't realize that as a kid because my teacher, Arthur Eisler,
never brought up the subject with me. Evidently I was not the kind of
student he wanted to encourage to climb on the family tree. As a wind
player, I'm a teacherless foundling, probably deposited here by goblins, but
for those clarinet players who did have a teacher, what would be the best
research sources?
