Oh boy another random early Romantic clarinet concertino from Listener Jeremy (who, at this rate, is soon to be banned altogether from NTT submissions.)
What would you do, just dump the 6 I’ve submitted that await publication? A full 4 of them aren’t clarinet concertos and 1 doesn’t even feature the clarinet.
One of the reasons I submit so many entries for the NTT is so I have fewer to deal with myself….because of ones like last week’s. Janáček‘s Sinfonietta is a piece I probably should know, but he’s a definite gap in my listening.
As for the Magic Flute…I’m glad Mr. Vaz enjoyed it…but I think as described, I would very much not like most of those directorial features (the paper birds being an exception). Audience interaction stuff tends to make me uncomfortable.
My contribution to a rewrite of the libretto shall be to suggest a title change: Die Zauberklarinette
Perhaps—and this is just a thought—if you began listening to anything that wasn't a clarinet solo, you might be able to FILL some of those listening gaps?
NTT: It seems too easy for it to be Weber with the clarinet, but I might as well put him in (though I don't know that he'd work for the clue). Other than that, maybe Spohr?

Franz Kromer?? That's all I got.
I dare you to ban me!

Oh wouldn't you like to know.......

This does not compute.
