On the tracks of the old French School

HM: After the Interviews with colleagues in Switzerland, France, Germany and Austria, I now want to focus on the traces of the old French School in the USA. In the beginning of the 20th century, important French clarinet teachers came to the States and had big influence on the clarinet playing of the of the following generations. Interestingly, the development of the French school in Europe took a significantly different course.
EE: Right.
