Hello,
Yes, was with Forrest many years, 13 years of age until I started with Barta in 1982. I did use cigarette paper to help always. Forrest never identified it, unfortunately. He was a great teacher, I just wish he had figured that one out along the way. My staccato was very good, but not perfect. I could pretty much handle all those band orchestral transcriptions but to push to the final hurdle of landing a symphony position, it was the block that Barta laid on me in 82.
If you are a neighbor of Steve Barta, I have a story I am sure he won’t remember. , I was performing in the pit orchestra, what opera Or operetta I forget, I don’t remember where either at Peabody or the Meyerhoff, but he came down to the pit at intermission introduced himself and wanted to know who was playing principal clarinet, go figure. That was before 82 though.
Thanks for your help and conversation.
