2014年1月15日收到汪预先生发来的E-mail告之,国际著名的半音阶口琴家黄青白1月10日在美国安息主怀,邦费里奥在追思他恩师。全文如下;
I first studied with Cham-ber Huang in 1971 in Trossingen
at a seminar and then at Turtle Bay Music School until 1974 when I got into
Mannes College of Music.
In 1975 while I was studying with Aaron Copland at the Aspen Music Festival, I
traveled up to perform with him at the Grand Teton Music Festival and then
in1977 I went on tour with Cham-ber across the country joined by my wife, Clare
Hoffman, on flute and Michael May on piano and harpsichord. We again played the
Grand Teton Music Festival and Cham-ber performed a Concerto with the
Orchestra. We also performed at the prestigious Ojai Music Festival in
California.
These were great times when people actually cared how Bach was performed
and spend hours over beers arguing about ornamentation. Cham-ber was a
wonderful teacher and a great deal of my teaching pedagogy comes through him.
He was stickler on musical articulation and phrasing, something so often
totally ignored by the harmonica community, and I always pass that on in my
teaching.
He and Frank Huang advanced the harmonica design, especially in the area
of air tightness. I still play the Hohner CBH 2016 named after him. Thanks to
Cham-ber I have an instrument strong enough to stand up to an Orchestra without
amplification and I have performed about 90 of the 420 performances of the
Villa-Lobos Harmonica Concerto totally without a mic. I owe this power to
Cham-ber's teaching and his harmonica design.
But mostly he was a true gentleman and very giving person, I was his
protege and my only regret in life is having never had a protege to pass on his
teaching and say, " This is the way my teacher Cham-ber Huang said to play
it!" CBH-RIP
harmonically yours,
Robert Daniel Bonfiglio
