Thank you for your comments, Paul.
I am thankful that the internet has provided easier access to so many recordings of players like Yona Ettlinger!

Prior to purchasing a few CDs and later seeking him out on the internet, I had only heard his name (favorably) mentioned by Rosario Mazzeo. EVERYTHING that Mazzeo stressed in our lessons--ring and focus in the tone, evenness through the registers, clarity of phrasing--is exemplified in every recording I've heard of Ettlinger.

I agree with your statement 100% that Ettlinger was "a superb musician who just happened to play the clarinet." He must have been a very inspirational teacher and friend!
