Dharma,

Your take on where the Russianoff books is where they need lie- it is unfortunately not where all others hold them. Nor other methodologies published by deceased instructors.

By asking what I did I was not attacking, but attempting to elicit a questioning view in others when approaching a methodology to a subjective experience- as codified by another. The value is not diminished, but rather placed in a proper context so what Can accurately be gleaned becomes more evident.

The mention of the work of Feynman is a bit out of place however; what it ultimately speaks of is not in the same language of musical methodology.

-Firstly, his work lies in the realm of quantum mechanics/electrodynamics which may seem theoretical (or subjective) on the surface. Yet, they lie in the provable realm of mathematics, and thus, can ultimately only be spoken of in that language.

His published lectures are a great achievement, yet re-read the preface of the first volume; what he speaks to differs greatly from that of the subjective realm of clarinetistry; or published methods.

-Secondly, re-read a the transcription of his commencement address speaking of The Cargo Cult of Science.

http://calteches.library.caltech.edu/51/2/CargoCult.pdf

Sadly, many practitioners of clarinetristy, even professionals (whatever that really means at its' essence) fall on the "incorrect" side of which he speaks.

That his lectures, in person, clearly illuminated a mathematically quantifiable "idea" (for which he did win the Nobel Prize in Physics) should be lauded. His written "lectures" also speak of said matters, yet ultimately in a precise language of mathematics . We do not have access that to form of written expression in the "art of music; or of the clarinet."

Lest we keep building landing strips hoping that some knowledge will land in our personal clarinet village.

I apologize but a context is needed at times.

-Jason
