Gigliotti discusses his background, the influence of predecessors Daniel Bonade and Ralph McLane, his concept of clarinet sound and the American style of playing, his design of a clarinet for Selmer, the audition process, the traditions of the woodwind section of the Philadelphia Orchestra (and players such as Marcel Tabuteau, William Kincaid and Sol Schoenbach), and the newer systems of using assistant principal players and double principals. He comments upon various aspects of the personality and career of Eugene Ormandy, including his generosity, his sense of humor, his discipline, his responsibility for improving the overall standard of playing in the Philadelphia Orchestra, his skill in recording sessions, his relations with orchestra members, and his last concert at Carnegie Hall.
