...bassoon players? Nor can I: the unfortunate bassoon has in recent times been much neglected as a solo instrument. David Sogg's performance of Mozart's B flat major concerto, K. 191, showed that this neglect is unwarranted, while providing a welcome respite for a musical world saturated with concerti for piano or for violin. It is unfortunate that more people did not take advantage of this nearly unique opportunity to hear an excellent bassoonist in a solo context...

When the public listens badly and doesn't pay attention, you have to do something. Your fantasies, your heart must...
...Clara. The haggard lines painted on her face disappear overnight and with them the shabby working-class hausfrau; in her place stands an elegant fashion plate who abandons her peasant taciturnity for sparkling wit and high spirits, reads Anna Karenina and 1 Prontessi Spossi, swoons to romantic violin concerti and discovers that she has no desire ever to return to her coarse proletarian family...
