all your broken reeds.
How do we let MP3 know we're on Igor S's side? My 2 clarinet students both
chose beginning classical pieces for their festival work this spring There

Buy the CDs ($6), that have the serious music on them so that there will be
credibility in the Genere. They only list the top 12 CD's, and I have 2 of
them. Vol 3 is my favorite. Even just listening to them improves their
rankings so that they are not overshadowed by junk classical, or classic pop.
This is the page that lists them:
http://www.mp3.com/store/genredams/classical.html

as you see, the Movie Three Kings is at the top because they have Film
Music under Classical, and believe me, it ain't Classical. Vote with your
$., about the only way to unseat them is to outsell them. Not a good thing.
It makes the serious artists like the Winner of the NY. Concert Artists
Guild Piano Competition, and a Finalist in the Van Cliburn Competition -
unknown. It's a true shame for Classical Music.
Volume 2 has quite a few Clarinet works.

Sorry for the plug.
