Any guesses? I'll give some hints if necessary. But the date might be the best clue.

The "dark" clarinet tone was born?

That's not the answer that I'm looking for. It's a specific event that happened on that day.....that day according to a website....

Plus Curlyev,

Emma only won the woodwind final and not the over all final. She played the Weber Concertino and the little excerpt by Britten

Really Peter? I've always thought that it went the way that Curlyev stated - a little Googling seems to confirm this also.

Are you sure Peter? Emma's own website says she did, Wikipedia says the same as does the BBC website. I am sure I watched her win it too.

Apologies, I was told that info. Alas I was only 5 years old at the time. I stand corrected.

That was the day Buffet started giving freakish, hierarchical names to their top-line clarinets, like "Elite," "Prestige," and "Tosca," and "The Liberace Limited."

Well, I thought is was the day that Sabine Meyer got her job in Berlin.....but the headline implies it was the day she left the orchestra. But the date doesn't jive with her wikipedia article! So I'm not quite sure what happened that day!
