I am listening to Classic fm and the announcer has just reported that
'It was 20 years ago that Emma Johnson, as an 18 year old stunned the
audience and TV viewers with her performance of Mozart's Clarinet
Concerto"

20 Years!!!!! I remember that as if it were 'yesterday'. She was
terrific!!

Err, you might "remember that as if it were 'yesterday'", and that she
was "terrific", but I fear your memory is at fault! If, as I assume is
the case, both you and the Classic FM announcer are referring to the
performance which helped Emma Johnson win the BBC Young Musician of the
Year, she didn't play the Mozart concerto but one by Bernhard Crusell !!

What were the readers of this newsgroup doing 20 years ago and does it
seem like yesterday to them ??????

20 years ago I was watching Emma Johnson play the Crusell concerto,
though I'm not certain which of the three he wrote that she played,
though I think it was probably No.1.
