Is there documentation of some kind for this? Granted the clarinetists in the local town band may have had their struggles, but local musicians in our community bands and orchestras often have them, too.

Do we know anything about the technical execution or error-proneness of top-tier players of any musical age before recordings? Do we know anything about audience attitudes in any musical age before the advent of online BLOGS, Twitter and all the rest of the mass "social media"?
