If you have not read his article in the recent "Clarinetist" edition, he talks about some important issues regarding our art. His take on the current audition practice and the need for change made me want to stand up and say, AMEN!!! Too much emphasis is placed on solo performance as opposed to playing within the ensemble and why be required to play 1st excerpts if auditioning for 2nd. Also, how many times will you really have to perform the Mozart Concerto in your orchestra?? He also advocates versatility--play all the clarinets and all styles of music, not just classical. A very well written and informative article.............
