It's the Pittsburgh orchestra, Tony. Fine group but with the same crazy
hang ups of any clarinet section who need to play basset horns. They
simply don't know what to do so they try a little of this, a little of
that and hope for the best. Like most clarinet players who don't have a
basset horn specialty, their view is not conditioned by a great deal of
playing the instrument. Of course, I could be wrong in the case of the
Pittsburgh, but that is my general impression of most orchestral
clarinettists.
