Re: Question for older pro players

I can't answer for myself, but those whose clarinet playing I have loved and followed seem to peak in their 60s. By the time they're in their 80s, the tone has changed...many times is thinner, etc., and the notes aren't as technically fluid.

I haven't noticed the same thing of (say) trumpeters.

However - lots of folks pay to hear/see performers who are past their prime, and lots of folks play and enjoy music past their prime.

It's a wonderful world all around!
