"No clarinetist that I've heard either sitting next to, in front of, or out in the concert hall ever sounded better because of any noise, garbage, etc. in one's sound. Quite the contrary. It's convienient in theory but realistically, the better one sounds up close, the better they will sound at a distance PROVIDED they know how to PROJECT their well developed, pure, and well shaped sound - one with an inherent beautiful sonority."
A former teacher of mine, a member of the Hartford Symphony and a former student of Russianoff, told me exactly the opposite and used Harold Wright as an example of this. He told me that Wright had that sort of "noise," "garbage," or whatever, in his sound up close, but sounded marvelous further away. Or, as I believe Bonade is reported to have said, you are not playing to impress your second clarinetist. He is after your job anyway.
