 Re: Clarinet Sections of the Top U.S. Orchestras
Author: John Peacock

Two thoughts arise in reaction to this interesting posting:

(1) I wonder how the situation compares with other elite occupations. I am a Professor in Physics & Astronomy at the University of Edinburgh. We have about 80 tenured faculty, so on average we are hiring a little over 2 academics per year. Our undergraduate intake fluctuates between 200 and 300 a year. So for those students, the odds are 100:1 that they will not end up with an academic job in physics. It doesn't put them off studying the subject, nor should it. So the issue is more what the typical postgraduate employment is like. There are lots of opportunities for people to go into music teaching, though it is less secure and less well paid than the jobs that an average physicist will end up in.

(2) Looking at the list of players, I found it striking that almost all of them seem to be ..... American. I contrast this with Europe, where people seem to occupy an international job market: plenty of UK clarinet principals are not Brits, and there are plenty of British players in continental orchestras (though perhaps the disaster of Brexit will change this). So somehow people cross the Atlantic less: is this cultural, or just the reality of work permits?
