Re: What is wrong with Buffet?

"Any of the small makers, but they're expensive." S & S has on their website that their cheaper instruments are made just as well as their expensive ones, but you don't get as many keys. A full German system isn't quite like an oboe, but it gets pretty close. Buffets would probably be as expensive as the straight Boehms from small German makers if all their workers were as well trained and took the same amount of time to get everything right.

"I agree with the over-idolization of Mozart. I've had a few lessons with teachers in which we spent a significant amount of time on the first four measures. I understand their point about how refined it needs to be, but sometimes we forget that we are playing for more than just clarinetists."

I think teaching that way is mostly for precision, control and phrasing, and Mozart's a good piece for doing that. Really idolizing Mozart would mean gaining a familiarity in depth of the whole piece, which you can't do entirely by deconstructing. Strauss idolized Mozart, so we shouldn't be too quick to disparage that. Maybe he knew some things we don't.

"I've heard many well known players play Mozart like it's Brahms. It winds up taking away from the simplicity of the music and makes it more about the performer."

I agree, and the same principle works for complicated music, too. Said this before, but if your gig involves touring all over the world as a soloist, there's a lot of pressure to make it all about you, because if you don't, there might be two or three players in any given stop who might sound just as good as you do, which would be bad for business. Christian's comment about "the 1000th "meyeresque" version of this piece" is à propos, and it doesn't only happen with Meyer. The interpretation should come from the music with as little interference from the self-interested ego as possible.
