@@SharonKamClarinet Thanks and greetings from Bulgaria:) Ivan Kolev told me about you and now you have one more fan and fellow clarinetist:) Atanas Atanasov
This piece has been played to death by students so I welcome some new life injected via fast tempos by a master player. It is played so often because it is short and conveniently classical, in a field where there isn't much choice. Students now have the piece by John Williams called "Viktor's Tale," which is better at showing what a clarinet can express.
My goodness, I just listened to meditation took it to my son 3rd year ottawa u scholarship low and behold one of my favorite pieces he plays for me, thank you

Close your eyes. You do not look at music. You listen to it. And this is a heavenly piece, excellently performed. All musicians move. And everyone has an own style of movement.
The clarity of your playing and the more obvious dynamics are things I rarely hear. You present those more than others and to me that's something unique which I appreciate a lot. Other listeners and musicians might have different opinions but from me, you have my congratulations. Well done!!
Currently I am using you as a reference for an assignment and what to sound like, and even though I knew you were good I was completely wowed by your preformance. I will definitely be using this as a reference if I need help later in my clarineting!
