Thread Name: What's your strangest musical influence?
Subject: RE: BS: What's your strangest musical influence?
They are not strange at all; Stravinsky has always been my greatest love(and he was a nice folkie folker...),and the cello sonata op.8 from Zoltan Kodaly ...I always get surprised of how much it affects me.When I heard it the first time,many years ago,i couldn't sleep for one week,it kept on roaring(for the first measures are a big cello roarrr)in my head.And good old Frank Zappa.Yes,I love their music so much.Anyway,I started playing clarinet because of Stravinsky's first piece for clarinet solo...i'm glad I was able to play it on an alto clarinet.
