She’ll be wearing her usual concert clothing and sitting in the center of the woodwinds, as always. Instead, Bartok asks her to deliver three virtuosic and grueling clarinet cadenzas — he calls them “dances of deception” — in order to tell Mimi’s [...] - http://www3.signonsandiego.com/stories/2009/oct/25/the-goal-telling-stories-that-apply-to-today/?arts
