It's so great to see the many comment on the use of the C clarinet. I use my
C whenever possible (if it's called for), because the intonation works
better with my flute/oboe/bassoon comrades. If one plays opera at all, a C
is almost indispensable. I've play several gigs where the orchestra is too
cheap to hire a second oboe or flute, and I've filled in on the Baroque
pieces. No one has ever asked me NOT to play the C. My Noblet must be
doing OK. I insisted that my 2nd player in the orchestra buy a C, which he
did.

BTW, my performance tonight with the La Mirada SO went very well, thank you.
Both the Mozart and the Bruch Double were well received. The Bruch should
be part of the regular repertoire, since it's such a beautiful work. To bad
it's not published.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all on the list!
