Now at Wijnand's to have dinner. We're gonna rehearse Brahms clarinet sonata and Mendelssohn Cello Sonata after dinner. I bought a new C* mouthpiece today at Harry Bakker. This is a good oppurtunity to try it out. I am in a mouthpiece crisis I believe.... What can you do?

Back home
Back home. Still doubting mouthpieces... Don't know what to do. The AL3 plays great but is too monochromatic. The new C* is too sharp for my taste. Although it plays easy. And still has some more colours than the AL3... We'll see

22:00 Back from Tilburg
22:00 Back from Tilburg. Teaching was good. Mouthpiece... hm, I don't know (see previous post). I am going to try out c*'s again tomorrow. The AL3 behaves like I knew it would. It is very easy but boring. What can you do.... All my students sound better than I did today!
9:30 now. Still have to shower. Doing some work that I was behind with. Listening to the radio. Burning some cd's, editing some audio. After this shower and practice. Then off to Tilburg. I enjoy the relatively long train ride every week!

Today I taught in Arnhem
Today I taught in Arnhem. I am getting used to teaching two days and having the rest of the week off for my own things. Also, more and more, teaching seems to do something with my music as a musician.
On the way back I had a long conversation with a good friend who is having problems with love. I feel bad for him, but he can work it out.
Yesterday I heard great Winterreise with Wijnand Van Klaveren and Henk Smit at Han De Vries' house. Beautiful house as well!

Keep an eye open for the Amstel Quartet CD with works by Faure, Glazounow and Glass. We are in the process of editing Faure and it sounds wonderfull. We recorded it in a studio and it didn't feel comfortable but it sounds great. Add some acoustics and we're done!

Today I met with Bram van Sambeek (bassoonist)
Today I met with Bram van Sambeek (bassoonist). He tried to explain to me how diaphragm vibrato works and that it should work for saxophone. I am not completely sure yet, but I am trying to learn it. Then I will see (hear) if I can use it in my practice.
