Unquestionably one of the clarinettists of his generation. Suddenly father of two. As surprised as you are.

May we never stop trying to write cricket bats.
![HENRY: Shut up and listen. This thing here, which looks like a wooden club, is actually several pieces of particular wood cunningly put together in a certain way so that the whole thing is sprung, like a dance floor. It’s for hitting cricket balls with. If you get it right, the cricket ball will travel two hundred yards in four seconds, and all you’ve done is give it a knock like knocking the top off a bottle of stout, and it makes a noise like a trout taking a fly… (He clucks his tongue to make the noise.) What we’re trying to do is to write cricket bats, so that when we throw up an idea and give it a little knock, it might … travel … (He clucks his tongue again and picks up the script.) Now, what we’ve got here is a lump of wood of roughly the same shape trying to be a cricket bat, and if you hit a ball with it, the ball will travel about ten feet and you will drop the bat and dance about shouting ‘Ouch!’ with your hands stuck into your armpits. (Indicating the cricket bat.) This isn’t better because someone says it’s better, or because there’s a conspiracy by the MCC to keep cudgels out of Lords. It’s better because it’s better. You don’t believe me, so I suggest you go out to bat with this and see how you get on. [quoting from the play] ‘You’re a strange boy, Billy, how old are you?”Twenty, but I’ve lived more than you’ll ever live.’ Ooh, ouch! (He drops the script and hops about with his hands in his armpits, going ‘Ouch!’ ANNIE watches him expressionlessly until he desists.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tfusco6lurhflepbh3g7m7s5/bafkreihts3fxnflkahxc7f6q4gpmjmbfxxkoeerd7ksiqmqvgl2mvgerbe@jpeg)

Grew up in Melbourne, moved to Europe over 20 years ago. Still remember visiting the brand-new Parliament station 40-plus years back. Coming to Melbourne for a few weeks over Xmas and going to make damn sure I check out the new stations!

Someone seems to be under the misapprehension that these categories are mutually exclusive.

Well in any case 😃 to judge from the page I have seen, this is a publication of The Art of Fugue _plus_ two fugues from the Sacrifice Musical!

Great website by the way. Complete Haydn symphonies anyone? (He has a paperback and a hardback set at the moment.)

The end of his 9th made me want to hear a finale, which is a first for me!
Have you heard the 5, 6, and 8? They haven't made it to CD so far but can be heard here: mediathek.guerzenich-orchester.de/en/themen/1/...
