Subj: RE: [kl] Clarinet playing on a recently released movie

That's Emily??? I know her. She was a student at Stanford and I
went to a concert one night where they played the Beethoven
Rondino for 8 winds. Then some years later I was called to play
the New Sousa Band for an LA concert and she was the first
clarinet player.

She's really a mature performer now. I first heard her in 1976
when she was about 22.

Remarkable!!

Where shall I sent the empty case with all of the basset horn
parts missing?
