 Re: Don't like the sound of American clarinet

Several people have replied with advice not to listen to things we don't like. Hmm. I agree. Except when I don't. Sometimes I go on a deliberate spree of listening to things I don't like.

Why?

Sometimes, I discover that my mind has changed itself without telling me. Surprise! Listening to my dad's beloved Ornette Coleman on saxophone used to drive me bonkers as a child. I thought free jazz sounded like a bunch of noise. One day I heard "Free Jazz" over the speaker system at Second Story Books in Rockville, MD, my favorite bookstore, and -- whoops! I looked through the store's used CDs, found a copy and bought it right there on the spot.

That reversal hasn't happened to me with a classical clarinet player yet, because I've never heard any clarinet player I hated. I think they're all interesting in some way. And that's the other reason why every now and then I listen to my least-favorite performances: they *are* interesting. They make me think about *why* I like some performances better than others. They make me listen to my own practice sessions in new ways.
