Long after Goodman's greatness as a jazz clarinetist is history,
his enormous contributions to the repertoire for the clarinet
will enshrine his name even higher than it is now. Not only the
Bartok, but Copland, Milhaud, Stravinsky, and many others.

Subject: [kl] Franz Schoepp - Benny Goodman's teacher

I got the CD "Benny Goodman Clarinet Classics" and in the bio
info it
mentions Franz Schoepp as having been one of the very top
Clarinet
teachers of the early 20's. The CD didn't make it seem like Franz
was
just the local Chicago teacher who was good, it implied that he
was
like another Bonade or Bellison. "The finest Clarinet teacher in
America" was what the bio info read. It was written by Dr. Arthur
E.
Zimmerman.

I wonder why that name didn't stay as a name remembered in
history?
Anybody else heard of him?

I bought the CD as it had Bartok on Piano playing his Contrasts
w/Goodman (was written for Goodman).
