On rants in general, Christian's opinion is close to mine. On Brad Behn, well, he does fantastic work and is a great guy. On appeals to authority (arguably a logical fallacy, but in music, often a reasonable approach nonetheless), the realities of the profession are such that nearly everyone who has an orchestra or university job is very good at what they do, but also that a lot of the folks who don't have one of those jobs are quite good as well. Comments should stand or fall on their usefulness and plausibility rather than their provenance, and at the same time, taking oneself more seriously than the market will bear has and should have consequences. "The traditional clarinet sound," well, good luck with that, but still, we should all be happy not to be judged by the least well-considered things we've said.
