Bill, It was a year ago that you told us you were up to high D. Only a
couple of days ago you are now trying high E. Could I ask what you are
doing? You should be on high F by now (at least).

What can I say, Tony? Music is an uphill struggle for me. No,
that isn't the correct way to say it. Music is a grand pleasure to me,
which is why I posted a week or two ago that I play for my own pleasure,
not for the sake of performing. If I had intended to be a performer, I
would have quit long ago. In fact, I never would have started in the
first place.
Also, I'm certain that my definition of "playing high D" is
stricter now than it was a year ago.
And finally, I realize that high notes are part of music, but,
truly, I don't enjoy the clarinet's sound when it gets way up there --
not even when a virtuoso is playing.

Cheers,
Bill
