I'm not sure I understand this comment, but do you mean that anybody who
fails to share your opinion of Lowenstern isn't open to new experiences? (If
not, what *does* it mean?) If so, it's the same sort of logic as Maas's non
sequitur above, and it's poppycock. >>

All I can say is 'oops.' Leila, that comment was not intended for you or
anyone else specifically. I guess what I meant was that the typical
Lowenstern audience has very few clarinet players in it.
