It would indeed be interesting to see a "family tree" sometime. Perhaps =
your studies can also include this visual approach.

I would highly recommend to everyone a newer publication "DANIEL BONADE: =
A Founder of the American Style of Clarinet Playing" by Carol Anne =
Kycia. My opinion along with many others is that he, and later his =
students, were THE founders of the American school of clarinet playing. =
He was truly the fountainhead. It is well illustrated in this =
publication.

Other less influential teachers are covered in her publication. Names =
that come immediately to mind from the first half of the 20th century =
are Bellison, Polatschek, and Lindemann, all of whom played the German =
or Vienna style clarinet. Duques, Hamelin, and Langenus were also less =
influential (with the one exception being MacLane who's main teacher was =
Hamelin), all exponents of the French system clarinet.

Her email for inquiries about ordering this large sized and extensive =
paperback is:

Best,

Gregory Smith
