2nd Selmer Clarinet Day - Ricardo Morales Master Class
This Sunday afternoon at the St
Joseph Church Family Center held a major Master Class opportunity for students
to witness one of the prodigal clarinetists of our time, Ricardo Morales,
recently named Principal Clarinetist in the Philadelphia Orchestra. Morales was
previously principal at the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra in New York, and
winning that position at only 21. Already since taking the position in
Philadelphia, he has already been featured as soloist twice, performing the
Weber 2nd Clarinet Concerto, and the Mozart Sinfonia Concertante K297 for 4
Winds and Orchestra. Sponsors for this event were
Selmer USA and Vincent Marinelli's
Expert Woodwind Service.
Also in attendance and exhibiting mouthpieces and accessories were
Ben Redwine Jazz, successor makers of
the Gennusa line of Clarinet mouthpieces continued after Ignatius Gennusa
passed away, hence continuing his legacy.
During this afternoon, after Morales performed the Stravinky 3 Pieces for Solo
Clarinet, 3 advanced students were vigorously coached on prepared works they
prepared, namely the Grand Duo Concertante of Weber Op 48 (1st and last
movements), and the middle movement of the Nielsen Wind Quintet. Questions
about the teaching were addressed, along with pointers about instrument issues,
such as fingering alternatives, tuning, voicing to get the best results, and
more. A display of some of the latest Selmer instruments were available to
try, especially the Recital models, which Morales plays in the Orchestra.
This instrument is one of the most significant Selmer produces as its mainstream
horn and has become very popular and worth an audition. More events of this type
will surely be offered as interest is growing. Credit is due to the
sponsors Vincent Marinelli, Jean-Francoise Bescond, US Selmer National
Representative, and Alan Bomwell, Selmer Regional Manager.

promising. Robert DiLutis is to be credited for an ambitious undertaking and is
added to the numbers of Clarinet supporters that are needed to promote the
