>:7. GENERAL INTEREST: (And of special interest to Carolyn Mayr) >: The World Harmonica Championships, Detroit, Mich. 1991, was won hands >: down by Maria Wolfsberger, a young lady from Austria, she was 17 then. >In what catagory? There are a lot of them. >Tim Moody Sorry, I left that out. Maria won the chromatic soloist - youth - category in 1991 and chromatic soloist - adult - in 1993. For those who haven't been there - The chromatic soloist contestant must play a required test piece - usually written especially for the competition (Incredibly difficult IMHO) and also play a piece of their own choosing. In both competitions I saw they used a piano accompanist. The 1991 test piece titled "Pictures Of A Woman" was written by Pete Pedersen and is available on cassette with sheet music from F & R Farrell Co. [I don't recall the 1993 test piece]. P.S. Tim, thank you for the kind words. Jack Ely ely.j@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
