Right on Mark!
I was thinking the same thing but I couldn't remember her name. The memory
is the second thing that goes.

Another can of worms. I was looking at my Mercury Music Corp. edition of
the Strawinsky (Not misspelled) Three pieces for Clarinet and I noticed that
the instructions to the performer at the end of the second piece are Subito
meno f and sombrer le son (darken the tone) ritardando (poco) and these
instructions Sombrer le son subito (darken the tone subito) appears twice in
the third movement. At least there is one other person in the world who
thought that darken (a graphic reference to sound) had legitimate meaning in
his context and the term would be understood. According to some on this
list, Strawinsky knew what he wanted and was very specific in detail in the
scores of his music.
