i think you're quite right about the styles becoming more universal, which is all the more reason that we should get the ideas of "right and wrong" out of our heads for something as subjective as music. perhaps what i said earlier was in error. when i was talking about international competitions, i was thinking along the lines of the competitions in geneva, munich, tokyo, etc. admittedly there are many europeans entering these, but the jury is always made up of a mix of all nationalities. so if someone as american as alex klein can win there, why arent other americans out there doing the same?

i do not think of barret as obsolete in the slightest. in the first six articulation studies alone barret gives us as oboists an idea of the multitude of character that can be expected of us to portray convincingly. my only concern is the mentality that there is only one correct way to play a piece of music or orchestral excerpt. i believe that this mentality has closed us off to a broader world of playing. just because someone doesnt like the sound or inflections of heinz holliger does not mean that he has nothing to say through his interpretations. someone said in an earlier post that 'music is information that must be conveyed in a proper way' and thats a pretty accurate statement. but if one is in the habit of trying to float a phrase exactly as john mack did, then why even bother playing? john mack already said it! why speak his (or anyone else's) musical thoughts instead of our own?
