Karl: The seating capacity of most of the recently-built concert halls in Europe is usually within the range of 3000 to 3500 seats, as is also the case for opera theaters. This is considerably bigger than the 19th century shoe-box halls (Musikverein in Vienne, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and Victoria Hall in Geneava; all great halls, that seat about 2000). I work for a clarinet maker and when most people come into our workshop these days, I find they blast away. How can an instrument be tried out in such a fashion? As for Mr. Gigliotti-a clarinetist I admire, I hasten to add- a bassoonist with whom both you and I often played with, claimed Gigliotti ruined his tone by playing out and that this was Ormandy's fault for requiring this of him.
