I had the weirdest dream last night. I had a dream I was on a deserted island and I was looking for a way off it when suddenly I find a treasure chest. I opened the treasure chest and I find tons of Kaspar and Chedville mouthpieces inside it. Before I could decide what to do with the mouthpieces I wake up at 5am wondering what had happened. It took about an hour for me to fall back asleep for some odd reason so I just watched something on TV.
Weird dream...

I've had weird dreams before big competitions or auditions. Mine are mostly about chair placement. I did have one dream where I found this secret room, and it had every type of clarinet imaginable! Then I woke up, and I was utterly devastated! So I practiced!

Yeah, Conno, I've seen that room. Tonyt Pay keeps his collection in it.
My last music nightmare: I missed a repeat in public and alienated my colleagues. Opps, that happened while I should have been awake. SIGH

I had a terrible nightmare where I co-moderated a clarinet bulletin board and had to read through thousands of self-aggrandizing, insecure, and trite postings disecting the smallest minutiae of clarinet playing, each and every day - GBK

I had a great dream where I was playing a clarinet solo. The piece sounded beautiful (if I do sleepily say so myself). The only thing I can remember is that it ends on a pianissimo throat A-flat. I usually sleep with a radio softly playing the local classical station (105.1 KMZT, Los Angeles), so when I woke up just after the dream, I checked to see if it had just played. No luck. I couldn't recognize what it was, so I'm guessing I was composing in my sleep. Man if only it worked while I was awake.

were they new or used mouthpieces ????
you mentioned........"tons"........that implies plural. SO let's assume 2 tons and new. (Must have been one heck of a size treasure chest !!!!!)
if a mp weighs oh say 6 ounces, then your find was 10, 666 mp's .
YIKES !!!! that b worth a fortune......assuming $200 each, you could sell them for $2, 133,220. .....assuming you could find buyers. However, flooding the market with that many mp's would bring the prices down...........etc, etc.
now go practice

I had a dream about All-State chairs for next year and I got 3rd chair in my dream but our first chair of the Bb soprano clarinet section was a bass clarinet player who was playing the bass clarinet in the 1st chair Bb soprano spot who normally plays tenor sax. It was really weird.

Hey GoatTnder, It's funny but I had the same dream and where you said "so I'm guessing I was composing in my sleep", I heard this horrible throat rattling sound so, at my age I guess I'm DECOMPOSING in my sleep.

Ha! Or maybe it was a really modern piece with prepared clarinet?

I once had an awful dream that I was playing 2nd clarinet in Elgar's 'Dream of Gerontius'
Sadly I woke up and found that I was!

I used to have a recurring nightmare in which I was back in high school, in a seat jump. In real life, I played in the high school orchestra, but in the dream, the orchestra had a huge clarinet section, as if it were a concert band. The director asked everybody else to play a passage from one of the pieces we'd been rehearsing. When it was my turn, he passed me a handwritten page by a composer I'd never heard of, in a completely unfamiliar notation system that looked like some sort of abstract mathematical formula. Generally I woke up at that point, but once in a while I would try to fake my way through the audition, with invariably disastrous results. Oddly enough, I never did simply hand the sheet back and ask the director if he had given me a math problem by mistake!

I've often had dreams where the music in front of me looked like lines of abstract colored designs and I had a terrible time reading/interpretting it. I've noticed that, seemingly as I have become a little more confident in my musical abilities, the notation in my dreams has become actual music and that I'm often capable of playing it.
And haven't we all had the dream where we are about to perform a piece and it turns out to be something we are totally unfamiliar with? The musical version of the dream where you are about to take a test in school and you realize that you haven't been attending the classes.

jez - Dream of Gerontius is not my favourite Elgar work so I have to agree with you here (I'm assuming you just don't like it?). I think his clarinet writting in the two wonderful symphonies is an entirely different proposition, don't you think?

And, nothing's ever going to change.

I had a dream just the other night that I was running around the concert hall and foyer completely naked after a concert trying to find my clothes because someone had stolen them from the dressing rooms. Strangely enough, I seemed to rather enjoy it (in the dream!)
