Re: A pretty good Spohr No.2 performance

At around 18, in perhaps 2002, Gaspare was a member of my Summer clarinet class at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena. He was, I thought, outstandingly talented, playing a Boehm clarinet. I particularly recall his delivering an impeccable performance of the Francaix Theme and Variations in a concert.

If you Google him, you will find that he went on to study in Germany; and, doubtless preferring the system, switched to a German clarinet. It's an idea that many of us have toyed with, and some have implemented – notably Michelle Zukovsky. He since has had a deservedly successful career in a German orchestra, as well as other work.

There is no particular reason to find one of the Boehm and Oehler systems in general more 'out-of-tune' than the other. Remember who is giving the opinions you may read here.
