This was the LP that started my love for the clarinet:

My dad was into big band era music (this was his era!) and classical music, so he had a number of records and sets. He didn't play an instrument however, and neither did my mom.
I was about 11 years old. For some reason I took this one out (maybe because it said 'Mozart' on it and I knew that he was a classical music composer), and when I heard the mellow sounding instrument that sang the da di da -da di da- da di daaaa, I wondered what it was (I had no idea of the names of woodwind instruments - maybe flute, but not all woodwinds). Once I worked out it was the clarinet, I told my parents I wanted to play that. Oddly enough, they did take me to our local music store (when it still existed) and bought me a Vito Reso Tone.
Was there a particular piece of music that inspired you to play?

(Paul, Eddie Sauter was a family friend – I even took some elementary theory lessons from him.)

There was no particular piece that made me want to start playing the Clarinet,but there is a piece that makes me keep pushing forward to learn technique and play altissimo notes better.American in Paris and Rhapsody in Blue really inspire me to do better and learn the glissando technique.Unfortunately,I haven't got close to mastering it,but I could listen to BOTH pieces all day.
