Hi, All --
Usher wrote a thoughtful opinion piece in today's Washington Post on the importance of Juneteenth and how Americans might choose to commemorate it, should it become a national holiday. He suggests that the day could be used to amplify African-American contributions throughout American culture and commerce.
(Link to article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/06/18/usher-its-past-time-make-juneteenth-national-holiday/)
That made me think, why wait? Why don't we think today about individuals and businesses that have contributed to the clarinet: performers, composers, businesses, and the like.
Let's use this thread to highlight African-American achievement in the field and to learn from one another. (Apologies for the U.S.-centric post.)
Beth

From the late Eberhard Kraut, elaborate essay on Selmer,´especially Albert system, clarinets and performers:
https://capionlarsen.com/henri-selmer-klarinetten-der-192030er-jahre/
I ran it through Google translate, didn't read it and hope it is understandable (can't attach it here; new posting).

Google translation of Eberhard Kraut's essay. For the photos, you'd have to look into the German original (above).
