"It falls short of being respectful."

Ok..sorry to offend.

Is this a gender issue for you? (I don't know, I hope not.)

Showcasing an amazing player (I don't know) on the clarinet bboard, knowing her name's in the link, and rather than including it, comparing her to an amazing an affable player who happens to be a man...

...and funny enough, I chose Mr. Bliss as much for his talent as for comparison footage of him at that age I'd seen, in addition to content of him also performing "Bumblebee."

FWIW, I would consider it an (undeserved) honor if after I played, people felt me so great they called by "Sabine" Jones (after Sabine Meyer)....an amazing clarinetist who IMHO faced enormous gender discrimination (that makes me very angry as music should only be about sound)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabine_Meyer

that paradoxically and serendipitously enough benefited us as likely being better familiar with her play, as a result of this discrimination steering her toward solo work.

Something tells me that Katarina Marjanov would be enormously proud I called her the Juliana Bliss of the clarinet world.

My opinion: tough talk from someone who didn't showcase her.

Katarina: if you're out there and I've offended you I apologize; I am in awesome respect for your skills, and changed the subject title of my thread as evidence of same. Here's another video of you taking on one of my favorites, which so few soloists do, IMHO, because it's so freakin difficult, and how I originally found you:
