Helol - - Did any of you get to the Mannes clarinet day?

How was it? How were the teachers?

How were the students?

Thanks.

I stayed 'til the lunch break.

Mark Nuccio gave a fine master class - I am impressed by the students' courage in exposing themselves in front of a large (60 people) audience of fellow clarinetists (including numerous pros). Nuccio had a lot of solid advice.

I was hoping for more vendors - Mark from Weiners was there with a lot of reeds, mouthpieces, etc., as well as buffet R13s to sample (and one Buffet bass clarinet). A few other vendors with less to play with.

Best of all Tomoji (lastname?), the former NYC WW and BW repairman, was there offering free clarinet adjustments. He did a nice job with my clarinet and will probably get more business at his new repair studio on 28th Street

Tomoji (I belive his last name is Hirata?) is my primary clarinet repairperson. None better...GBK

i went to Mark's class and the recital.
Each of the performers is unique and stunning in his own way. Mark is such a refined player-beautiful sound, impeccable rhythm, fingers from the devil, i could go on. He really dazzled us with Kovacs' Homage to Strauss and a deadly Piazzola etude.
Charlie is always a jaw dropper with his double tonguing and formidable technique. He transcribed a highly unpopular (hopefully not for long) Mendelssohn Violin Sonata. He also performed his own piece (In Memoriam/Spirals) that I found effective and very moving. He wrote it (originally) for his father but has since dedicated it to anyone who has suffered tragedy.
David Krakauer-what can I say. He's always a show stopper! He played the Messiaen very evocatively and then did a Klezmer set with a bassist and an accordionist. All I can say is WOW. Such joy and (seemingly) reckless abandon. He's extraordinary.
I hope they do this every year.
anybody else go?
