[...]guards are among the most anonymous players on the field, but the Green Bay sweep was iconic enough that Thurston and Kramer became well known to football fans.

Pamela Weston, who has died aged 87, was not only an outstanding clarinettist and teacher, but also a renowned researcher and biographer of clarinettists from all over the world. Her father was a doctor and her mother an amateur violinist. Born in London, Pamela learned the piano at school, and plans were made for her to study piano and singing in Dresden, which were frustrated by the outbreak of the second world war. In 1941, she was greatly inspired by hearing a broadcast given by the eminent clarinettist Frederick Thurston. When she heard that he was giving a concert in Bournemouth, she \"dashed down there\" and confronted him. \"I love your playing,\" she said. \"Please can I learn from you?\" In 1969 she resigned from the Guildhall to teach privately at her home in Putney, south-west London. In 1976 she published The Clarinet Teacher's Companion and began to edit music of educational and historical value. Her 50 Classical Studies (1976) and 50 Melodious Studies (1990) became bestsellers, and were followed by new editions of Carl Maria von Weber's clarinet works, Bernhard Crusell's three concertos, and the Mozart concerto and quintet, the latter edited for basset clarinet. Pamela was also responsible for the first publications of the concerto by Charles Stanford and the quintet by Arthur Somervell.

She went on to make 17 more recordings for Hyperion, her catholic choice of composers running from 18th-century figures such as the Finn Bernhard Crusell and Mozart's student Franz Sossmayr via the standard clarinet classics, Mozart and Brahms, to her contemporaries Malcolm Arnold, Howard Blake, Benjamin Britten (for whom she had played at Aldeburgh in the 1950s and 1960s), Arnold Cooke, Benjamin Frankel, Gordon Jacob, Elizabeth Maconchy, Alan Rawsthorne and Robert Simpson, earning their considerable gratitude - indeed, Blake's Concerto, Frankel's Quintet, Jacob's Mini Concerto and Maconchy's Fantasia are dedicated to her. King's interest in the early-music movement didn't extend as far as performance (she lacked the time to spe-cialise, she explained) but she readily learned from it, and was one of the first to play the Mozart Concerto and Quintet on a basset horn: \"Playing the basset horn in Mozart's divertimenti convinced me that the concerto was written for a clarinet with an extended lower compass.\" The discovery of Mozart's \"Winterthur manuscript\" in the early 1960s was soon to prove her right. With the ceaseless energy that fuelled her life, she refused to be diverted by age. She continued to play the piano, taking especial pleasure in chamber music. At a centenary concert for her husband in 2001 she played the piano part in John Ireland's Fantasy Sonata - written for him 58 years earlier - and for the BBC she recorded all three parts (clarinet, basset horn and piano) of Mendelssohn's Konzertstock, Op. 114, for broadcast in the Radio 3 series Double Exposure, the title in this instance understating what was on offer. She enjoyed the theatre and confessed a fondness for Sondheim. She edited a number of clarinet works for publication and listed her other enthusiasms as \"cows, pillow lace, painting\".

In 1937 Decca had [Frederick Thurston] set down the E-flat Brahms Sonata, surely the finest performance of the age. Four years later, Decca intended to have Thurston record the F-minor companion, but circumstances conspired to allow only one take straight through, and Thurston disallowed the publication of the recording. The very next day the Brahms quintet was to be recorded-also one-shot-and again Thurston rejected the results.

  \"We have a nice facility and our patients deserve it,\" [Barbara Scott] said. \"We hear it all the time since the renovation. Just because we're not a metropolitansize community doesn't mean we don't offer state-of-the-art facilities.\" \"Auburndale Chamber-Main Street is going well,\" [Frederick Thurston] said. \"Our new director (Joy Pruitt) is continuing with the progress we've made in recent years. The goal is the bring business to the Auburndale community and the success of businesses like Beef O'Brady's in recent months proves that businesses can do well here. Business is here. Let's face it, we don't have enough dirt along I-4 (where the housing is growing), so businesses need to look to the downtown.\" \"I find it interesting and am pleased that downtown Auburndale has a real working downtown community,\" Pruitt said, noting that in addition to the dental practices, there's a podiatrist, chiropractor and general physician. \"We'd like to attract more in the medical community to Auburndale.\"

All of the pieces here were dear to [Frederick Thurston]'s heart, especially the Stanford concerto, dedicated to his teacher Charles Draper-the work that launched Thurston's career. He hated the recording studio, and so made few recordings, so these 1948 and 1952 documents are important.
