Hi Walter (et al.),

Roger Garrett tried the same thing on with me on the bass clarinet list.
The best way of dealing with this, as you are doing, is not to engage with
flames. My e-mail programme now has an R Garrett rule, which deletes his
posts unread. It's much more useful to read your comments on mouthpieces
and pads, as well as the great historic _Fiddler_ remembrances.

On a different (and hopefully sunnier) tack, hi there. I've just joined
this list. Although I'm primarily a musicologist these days, at heart I'm
still a clarinettist, involved with British experimental music. There's a
lot of really nice clarinet music written by British experimentalists, for
me and for the two British new music clarinettists Ian Mitchell and Roger
Heaton. Currently the Experimental Music Catalogue is running a promotion
in which you can get a free pdf copy of Christopher Hobbs' piece for bass
clarinet, "Why Not?". Ian Mitchell plays this piece on his CD for Black
Box, _the edge of the world_. He commissioned Chris to write this piece as
a show piece for the bass clarinet when he did demonstrations at schools.
Ian has said that this piece would make a good audition piece. It would be
workable as a recital piece for a confident undergraduate as well.

To get this piece just go to the Experimental Music Catalogue website
<http://www.experimentalmusic.co.uk> and follow the links to the clarinet
page. You e-mail them and they will send you the pdf file by e-mail. I
have to claim affiliation: my history of British Experimental Music is sold
on the site and I'm married to the founder of the Catalogue, but I thought
that the free offer might excuse the spammishness.

Cheers,

Virginia
