I'm enjoying the suggestions! The original message does raise another question:

>>But now his landlady aka our neighbour approaches me and suggests we two play together, for fun and such. >>

Since I've never met your or the neighbor have have never heard either of you play, I'm not even going to try to guess whether you'd enjoy playing together. But, before you commit one way or the other, is there some way you can delicately determine whether or not the clarinet-playing neighbor suggested inviting you? Or is playing together entirely the landlady's idea?

(I'm reminded of a scene -- I think it might have been in the old TV comedy series, "The Little Rascals" -- where one child proposed to two others, "Why don't you an' him fight!")

If the landlady thought up this musical matchmaking idea all on her own, then she may have put both of you in an awkward situation. But, maybe the new neighbor heard you play through the window and said something that gave the landlady the idea. If it's coming from the clarinet player, then he's already decided there's not too much of a gap between your playing and his.
