With the realization that I may be stepping into it again, there
is no cadenza in the Mozart concerto, there never has been and
Chalumeau should think about that every time he wants to use the
word in the context of the Mozart concerto. Ergo, Sabine cannot
possibly be playing a cadenza in 622. If she found some way to
put a cadenza in, it would be a miracle. (And for what it is
worth, I think she has a lovely, captivating, exquisite sound,
and is a player of great substance, but her sound is no more
German than it is Bulgarian, Hungarian, or Serbo Croatian. The
whole purpose of the exercise that we just went through was to
suggest that national boundaries do not define clarinet sound
character. People define clarinet sound character.)

I may have been guilty of keeping this thread alive a bit. But,
looking
back on my post on the topic, I noted that I think Sabine has a
German
sound. I also noted that she seems to play the Mozart concerto
more
softly than anyone else. And I think that may be a big part of
it. In
particular, I'm thinking of her treatment of the second movement
after
the cadenza in the recording of hers that I have.
