For those that may perhaps be interested, there is an interview with Robert Marcellus given shortly before he died that is posted at the Australian Clarinet and Saxophone Journal site. The page is listed below. After arriving there, one then has to scroll down and click on the article's title to access it. I believe that Adobe Acrobat Reader is required.

My hope is that many will find the interview to be very informative and clarifying, giving some small insight to this fabulous clarinetist's contribution to the art of clarinetistry.

Greg,
Am I doing something wrong? The page you have indicated keeps coming up with an error message.

And drop down five articles from there and there is a very interesting article, with notation, examples, etc, of "Klezmer for Beginners."

Great tip, thanks Greg! And, thanks Mark for doing the http thing. It made it easier to access. It's an article worthy of saving and filing away for future reference.
Smiles!

Thanks! I was going to ask someone how to do that and thought it was too dumb a question. It sure will come in handy.
By the way, I printed those two articles up and they came out really nice. I sometimes play Klezmer and there are some handy tips on the second article mentioned "Klezmer for Klarinettists, a Beginner's Guide," by Michele Gingras. It includes some printed music "samples" so you can practice the techniques.

OK, dumb question from me. Is there any way to make it print properly (maybe a tad reduced) so it will fit on 8 1/2 x 11 paper or should I find some legal size (8 1/2 x 14) paper to do it on. It looks to be originally formatted to a European paper size?
Thanks for any help.

Mine didn't come out exactly. I'm sure you're right about the European paper size. I think that's the deal. But, you'll get enough of it to have some great stuff to pass on. You might have to go back and write that top sentence that gets cut off out by hand.

If you view it with "Acrobat 4.0" in he outer rim are the "controls". Press the icon for "print" and a little dialogue box willo pop up for printer settings (at least on my setup). You can then choose.

Pam--
I had the same problem. In the File menu my print choice was Print Frame. This brought up the printer box and in that box was a list of Properties. When I (finally) chose Fit To Page, then all of the article printed--none was cut off. The type size is a little smaller that way, but not objectionably so.
Hope this helps.

Thanks all! I'll try your tips for printing. Something that long is easier to have the printed page to sit and read.

Greg, my impressions:
1)About double lip embouchure he says it gives smaller sound.
This was impressive to me.
2)Middle B should be fingered together with right hand on C.
3)About misconceptions of opening throat. This should be read by anyone. IMHO.
Above all, I felt his good nature and thought you would have been happy with him.
p.s.
1)Only for information, for who don't know the flutist Wiliam Kincaid:
William Kincaid was a famous flutist belonging to PSO.
He made it a rule to swim to make his breathing healthy. He used a platinum
fulte(very heavy to inhale for ordinary players). Other famous American flutists
miaght be late Wummer and Julius Baker.
2)Marcellus used a hard Aaknsas oil stone to shave his knife. I use one too.
It is famous to mechanical engineers, who once studied in university to draw
a design paper by ink.
