 Hattner has said of his conducting style , " It is generally somewhat of a collaborative process between myself and the musicians , having been a player myself . I 'm fairly specific about what I 'm asking for in terms of the tempos and the phrasing , but bits of individual expression comes from the hearts and minds of the players themselves . I don 't try to micromanage every detail . " In addition to conducting and clarinet performance , Hattner has participated in multimedia work with silent film both nationally and internationally . He continues to perform clarinet in ensembles such as 45th Parallel , <unk> Ensemble and other projects .
