Whether it's a women's lib issue or not, I'd still like
to know which criteria others include when they think about
what makes a clarinetist a "major star." I don't have a
clear response to this myself, but I do know that Zukovsky
only occurred to me fleetingly during the little guessing
game, because I didn't consider her a "BIG, MAJOR 10-out-
of-10" clarinetist when also considering Morales, Manasse,
Shifrin, Combs, Drucker, Gigliotti, Cohen, etc. Principal
position in a major orchestra? Recordings? Faculty at a
major conservatory? All three? None of the above? What
makes a major star?
