I wrote that piece more than 30 years ago and, in my youth as is
shown by many of the intemperate statements of young people on
this list, I was foolish enough to give such opinions. Now I am
much older, enormously smarter, and recognize that taste is no
determinant of authorship.

. . but you *did* list it in "the 10 worst compositions in the
Clarinetist's repertoire" yes? I assume that "worst" means
somewhat less
than best, or even good? Excremental?

Or did you mean "wurst" as in tasty?
