Apology accepted. Thank you, Dave. There's a long history of diminishing the accomplishments of minorities by tagging them with the name of someone in the majority.

[Great black athlete] is the black [great white athlete].

[Great woman musician] is the female [great male musician].

Leaving out their name entirely is even worse.

I take you at you word and agree with and appreciate most of the rest of what you wrote about gender and clarinet playing. I did not mean to start an argument or long debate, just to point out that credit should be explicitly and exclusively given where it is due. It's part of what is needed for equality to be a reality and not just an ideal.

I was happy to be the first to type Katarina's name on this bulletin board, as I'm sure you are to be the first to bring her to our attention.
