Many say that Mr. Herseth's sound these days is getting pretty "schmaltzy". If this is true, hopefully he will eventually hear it himself. There is an oboist in Cleveland that perhaps needs to come to the same realization, and I'm sure many others in the industry are at the same point in their careers. Hopefully, if I am privileged to reach that point at whatever pursuit, I will be self-observant enough to stand aside at that time.

I would think that Chicago, per past practices, will have a cattle-call and then end up inviting some preferred individuals later. In orchestras of this stature, celebrity is quite often just as important as ability these days, it seems.
