Pipers, a totally bizarre question

Michael Collins, one of my favorite "classical" clarinetists....he's British, playing the first movement of the Poulenc sonata. Poulenc was French. I've performed this, too. It's a great piece.

But what REALLY kicks, is this..... (you gotta see these two, and this really IS stuff that gets done to Bulgarian and Turkish music with clarinet. There's a Greek tradition, too)

oh, HUSH...that IS a clarinet solo in the background.

I've played some taverna music, it's really, really hard.
