Re: 1916 Ballets Russes clarinetist?

Lelia, you're welcome! If you go to the Stokowski site, you can find brief biographies of principal players (past and present) in a number of American orchestras. There are a lot of names (it will take a lot of searching) of other musicians who toured with the Ballet Russes during this American tour, including Ernest Williams (trumpet) and Benjamin Kohon (bassoon).

Someone posted this link a while back about the clarinetists of the Sousa Band. http://etd.lib.fsu.edu/theses_1/available/etd-03272006-200646/unrestricted/Treatise.pdf
I know this won't tell you much about the Ballet Russes orchestra, but you'll be able to read about other important clarinet players of the early 20th century.
