YES!! Congrats. How did you guess her?? Interesting. She crossed my mind
only fleetingly. I knew of her distinction re: a woman in a principal
position, but your categorization of her as a "star" among the ranks of
Drucker, Gigliotti, Shifrin, Cohen, Opperman, and perhaps Marcellus and
Mazzeo (to think posthumously as well) seems a little off. No disre- spect
intended of course, but to my mind, one quality of a "major" "star" player
would be the level of their exposure. Everybody knows who she is,
naturally, but the number of other names that came up, before hers was
finally mentioned, really points to how subject- ive the criteria really
are. How do we define a "REALLY BIG STAR" among clarinetists? -- Neil

I would argue it with you, but am too tired, I just had a long phone
conversation with James Galway.
