Yes, but he is writing to England about an English-trained English woman that
made it into THE Berlin Philharmonic (as the first female in the Brass
section). Since we Americans are frequently guilty of the same hubris, perhaps
we can be more forgiving (even though I see no mention of one of my favorite
highly successful American female hornist, Gail Williams). I personally
enjoyed the story, the tasteful use of embedded files, AND the shift of
perspective (from American to British) that Mr. Ree's accessible prose gave me.
