For whatever encouragement I was able to provide to you I'm
delighted!! I'm just sorry that I was not there to hear the
performance. In about two months you will be able to buy "Opus
Ultimum: The Story Of The Mozart Requiem" which is my non-fiction
contribution to the quarter millenium celebration of Mozart's
birth. The book is already announced on Amazon.com and, were it
not for the fact that the German Book Fair is taking up the
attention of my publisher, it would have been out already.

It is a lovely instrument to play, and Keith and I are very
fortunate to have our two brothers.

OK Mr. Dan Lesson,

Thanks to you and Mr. Keith Bowen I will never enjoy the Mozart
Requiem with clarinet again! This past weekend my
colleague and I performed the piece with BASSETS! Our esteemed
conductor, Guillermo Figueroa told us to burn the clarinets for
this work! When he requested that we try bassets, the only
reason I agreed was because of your and Keith's encouragement.

Please keep in mind that although we feel extremely lucky to have
been able to use the bassets on loan from our alma mater
Northwestern University, I know from first hand experience that
these instruments by no means even come close to the brothers
that you and Keith are lucky enough to play on!

Yet still, I'm absolutely astounded to have this new sound in my
head of what Mozart really had in mind with 3 trombones, 2
trumpets, 2 bassoons, and TWO BASSETS! WOW! I'll never enjoy
the Requiem with clarinets again!

Forever changed,
Lori Lovato, 2nd/Eb & Basset Clarinet
New Mexico Symphony Orchestra

BTW I'm about half-way through the Mozart Forgeries and will be
quickly finishing it on the NMSO tour bus ride to Chihuahua!
