Re: master's thesis

Shannon Thompson's DMA dissertation, "A History and Analysis of the Philadelphia School of Clarinet Playing" can be purchased online from UMI Dissertation Services. Shannon has a link to UMI on her web pages: http://www3.wcu.edu/~thompson/.

The footnotes in Shannon's dissertation are superb. It was in one of those footnotes that I discovered John Weigand's DM dissertation, "Robert Marcellus' Fundamentals of Clarinet Playing and Teaching". Unfortunately, the only way to read this dissertation is to request the one circulating copy through an interlibrary loan from the Florida State University Allen Music Library:

However, it's worth the effort because this document has information about how Marcellus played that I have not found anywhere else.
