 Re: Leonard Bernstein, Boston Symphony Orch.

I must come from the school of playing you describe...

Emphasis was always placed on 'play' on the tip, but as you mention much cane disappears into the face.

Its become refined over time, and now the concept is firm outter face muscles making a framework over which much looser flesh rests...it kind of bunches together around the reed ( think pull-string).

Careful exploration with the tongue reveals how little free reed goes beyond the flesh.

And the reed itself is a bit more vibrant and lively (free blowing) than with a minimal flesh approach.

I am much happier... better and more stable intonation, very articulate response and somehow I think this relates to a better ratio of good reeds.

(BTW, I never had the pleasure of playing with Leonard who according to my symphonic lit. instructor was considered by many in Europe the finest conductor in the world. But I did get to perform with Elmer conducting a pops concert of his own music once with the Richmond, Va. symphony.)
