Why would Drucker need lessons from Kal? While still in his teens, didn't Drucker record Bartok's Contrasts (and Stravinsky's Story of a Soldier?),at age 15 beat Marcellus in the audition for Curtis, and at 16 obtain a position in the Indianapolis Symphony? What would Kal teach him? Hand position? Embouchere placement? Russianoff said Drucker as a kid would cut through all the method books he placed on the stand as long as he kept handing him cookies. Apparently he could sight read almost anything. Wouldn't the case be more like when young Raphael Mendez went to cornet whiz Herbert Clarke, and Clarke told him, "kid, you should be teaching me"?
