I Once Heard A Story That . . .

. . . as a kid Stanley Druker was once given an assignment by a clarinet teacher to practice and prepare one of the Rose 32 Etudes for the following week's lesson and he came back a week later and played the whole book ?!?!

Is this true ??

How well did he play it ? Did he really have it down, or did he have to fake a lot of it ?

I haven't heard that one, but in an interview Robert Marcellus said when he studied with Bonade he learned the entire JeanJean 16 Modern Etudes in two weeks. Having never seen the book, I can't attest to how tough that is, but it sure sounds impressive.o

Johnny:

This is the actual story: Russianoff had said that as a child Drucker wasn't too enthusiastic about scales and drills. To get around that, he assigned him a book a week. (ex: 1st week - Rose 40 - all of book 1, 2nd week - Rose 40 - all of book 2, etc...) ...GBK
