Dan Leeson says
<<Where there was a gasp from the audience and a shocked look on the face
of the party who asked the question. And I said, to nail it down
further, that should I asked to review a performance of K. 622 executed
on something other than a basset clarinet, there is no way that the
party so performing would get very much of a complimentary review, no
matter how intelligently it was played.>>

I would have loved to see the expressions on their faces, Dan.

<to have a pair of basset clarinets (in B-flat and A) as their regular
orchestral instruments.>>

Dan, can you talk the instrument companies (Buffet, Leblanc, Selmer, Yamaha,
etc) and explain to them that they must issue a general recall and replace or
augment all the defective clarinets that they have sold us all over the
years.
To think what a massive fraud this has been. They owe all of us at least 10
inches of clarinet that they KNOWINGLY withheld.
