Reviews
Eric Salzman wrote (New York Herald Tribune, March 14, 1964):
William Smith's clarinet pieces, played by himself, must be heard to believe—double, even triple stops; pure whistling harmonics; tremolo growls and burbles; ghosts of tones, shrill screams of sounds, weird echoes, whispers and clarinet twitches; the thinnest of thin, pure lines; then veritable avalanches of bubbling, burbling sound. Completely impossible except that it happened.(New York Herald Tribune, Eric Salzman, March 14, 1964, quoted in Rehfeldt 1994, quoted on William O. Smith, University of Washington faculty pageTemplate:Verify reliability)
