One of the main reasons I unsubscribed from this list earlier is because of
the endless diatribe and picking apart of anything that is written---ad
nauseum. Know i am being told i am underestimating the ability of
clarinetists to transpose on sight (especially in the dark and without a good
dose of valium for the nerves). I'm not sure when I ever wrote such a thing
and I would appreciate you retracting your comments Roger S. If you reread
my posts I talk about transposition being a necessary skill. this has been
twisted now into my saying that I ubderestimate all clarinetists. All of
this from my original post of how happy I was to have substantially improved
my A transposition skills. Unbelievable.
