For that price I would even stand a whole day listening to only Mozart's
music for basset horns!

At noon I was with a beautiful concert of music Mozart wrote for
clarinet(s) and basset horns(s). It was the first time I heard the "Sechs
notturni für Singstimmen, Klarinette und Bassethörner" in many years, and
the Kegelstatt trio, among others. After this concerto I went to the music
library to get me some cd's of Mozart's "clarinet"music. One of these cd's
was with the trio di claroni playong the Divertimenti K 439b (Anhang 229).

Beautiful music, every single piece I have heard and loved before. But all
five in five quarters of an hour -- to me it is too much, you get overfed.

And, btw, Hindemith is not that bad at all, I played his sonata with much
pleasure!
