Ralph McLane

Ralph McLane (December 19, 1907 – February 18, 1951) was an American clarinetist.

He was born in Lynn, Massachusetts.

McLane is best known for his tenure as principal clarinetist of the Philadelphia Orchestra from 1943 until his death in 1951. He is credited with giving the first public performance of the Clarinet Concerto by Aaron Copland at Carnegie Hall in New York City with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Eugene Ormandy on November 28, 1950. (Benny Goodman gave the premiere on radio with the NBC Symphony a few weeks earlier.)

gollark: (not as a mod feature, I mean as in constructing self-repairing constant-meltdown things with the current version)
gollark: Cool and utterly terrible idea: reactor designs which constantly melt down and have self-repair capability.
gollark: I mean, "put in too much cooling" doesn't really make the problem of "how do I put in enough cooling" easier.
gollark: How do you actually design anything efficient for the stupidly hot fuels?
