Dan's "reputation" is already...built. :-) He's an advocate of pizza (but
rarely eats pizza) and has offered his daughter's hand in marriage (but only
to men of a certain high caliber) many times. Occasionally, he speaks to us
about the historical (and sometimes hysterical) nature of music history. ;-)

As far as "presidents of major symphonies".....most couldn't (or wouldn't be
allowed to) carry Dan's encyclopedia.

And another thing...you should really watch what you say on things like
this.. You have no idea who is reading it or who I even am.. For all you
know I could be someone important.. or maybe the president of a major
orchestra is on here. You certianly aren't building a good reputation by
typing the things you just did.

You hear, "If Mozart had had a contrabassoon he would have used it," and the
next thing you know someone is playing K. 361 with a contrabassoon and
offering this entirely irrelevant argument to support the change in
instrumentation.

>> If I remember right, I thought you had mentioned before about playing
baroque oboe concertos too. I bought the Handel Oboe concerto no.3 (in G
minor) transcribed for Bb and I think if Handel had access to clarinet
players then he would have written the concerto for clarinet in the first
place. I would highly recommend this concerto to you if you are interested.
(especially if you like baroque music)
