Sabine Meyer’s bassoon dies, 72
RIPThe death occurred this weekend of the well-known German bassoonist Georg Klütsch, a member of the Sabine Meyer wind ensemble.
He was principal bassoon of Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, 1978-1995, and professor at the Franz Liszt Music Academy in Weimar.
Love his recordings with Ms. Meyer and Sergio Azzolini.
In a world with an absolute minimum of decency, the headline would be “Georg Klütsch, beloved bassoon player, is dead”
“Sabine Meyer’s bassoon” is about as plump as Slippedisc can get, and there is no end to it.
Amen! What a stupid headline!!
SD is getting horribly celebrity-focused. OK, Sabine Meyer is probably the better known (because of the business with HvK) but why does the title have to be about her rather than Mr Klutsch ?
Sehr, sehr traurig…
You do realize that the punctuation you’ve used in both headlines implies that this bassoon has died, not the man himself?
Learn to use a comma and apostrophe correctly if you want to publish a blog.
Sabine Meyer, bassoon, dies at 72
Better yet, do the world a favor and stop publishing a blog/gossip column. This business has enough problems without you constantly poking at issues you don’t research.
Condolences to his family.
Its worse than I realized, I didn’t even know the title was about a completely different person dying…
Sabine Myer’s bassoon, Georg Klutsch, dies at 72
or how about
Georg Klutsch, prominent bassoonist, dies at 72
or even just
Georg Klutsch dies at 72
All are more acceptable than the horrid one you published.
