[Bigneebug]

Thank you! Yes, Mr. Stoltzman is a blessing for all of us.

I don't like it when clarinetist play these wonderful modern pieces, get a great sound, beautiful interpretation and then set the clarinet back a hundred years by squeaking and scooping and sliding like a bad Klesmer clarinet.

[Bigneebug]

Dear saxoclar,

I also find it uncomfortable to hear someone crying when comes from deep in the gut. The scooping sliding is a crying and wailng over unnecessary destruction of something dear and beautiful. Hence the name 'caoine'. Thanks for listening.

More please!

hey keith its kate from class-- this music is so sadly beautiful, i think its wonderful. I could definetly see this being in a movie's soundtrack. The video is really profound as well. VERY good work, i am impressed. I had no idea this is what you did outside of school!

[Atomtroy]

I love this peice, the extra video elements take this over the top. Kieth is a true genius.

[TomTodia]

I am inspired to be working around this man. There is no other way to explain my response to this piece.

Bravo Keith, Bravo

simply incredible. I enjoy the aggression in the parts with images of fire. Beautiful ending also... Nice work. Have any more? :)

[Homersexual1989]

I'm not really a huge fan of Stoltzman but I love the way he plays this.
