Dear List,

I am curious if any of you have heard the term "anticipation" used in
reference to what Daniel Bonade referred to as the stopped staccato
technique (stopping the note with the tongue, moving the fingers prior to
playing the next note, and then releasing the tongue for the new note). I
have talked with several Bonade students as well as students of students
and never heard this term used. I am fairly confident Mr. Bonade did not
use this term.

It is possible it was coined by Mr. Abato and he tells me he seems to
recall learning the term and technique from the great cellist, Frank Miller
(not to be confused with the great comic book author). Mr. Abato did take
one or two lessons from Mr. Bonade (a *very* long time ago) so it is
possible he learned the technique from Mr. Bonade and does not remember
doing so.

It is certainly possible that Mr. Abato and Mr. Bonade developed these
techniques separately, but I'm curious to see if there is some link. A list
member has related to me that he learned this technique from Leon Lester
who likely learned it from Lucien Cailliet. Lucien Cailliet was a very good
friend of Mr. Abato's, but never studied with either Bonade or Abato. Both
Abato and Bonade were younger than Cailliet (Abato significantly so), it
seems unlikely that Cailliet would have studied with either of them. Please
feel free to correct me.

I'd also be curious if anyone knows who Cailliet studied clarinet with.

Any thoughts on the origin of this technique would be greatly appreciated.

-Adam
