This is sad news. He was a great person and superior horn player. Carlberg stopped off to visit me here in Moscow, Idaho from time to time. On his last visit we enjoyed setting up in our town square to play violin duets on our horns. We would take turns naming the key to transpose each duet, and tried to trip each other up by announcing the most outrageous keys we could dream up. And on the visit before that, he showed up to do a little playing, but he arrived without his horn, thinking that I surely had more than one. (I'm a one-horn guy). But of course he had his recorder and a stack of recorder music in the trunk of his car. So, we stayed up until 4:00 AM playing recorder duets.

He was diagnosed with cancer last fall, source unknown. With chemo treatments, he took it bravely and survived fairly well until about two weeks ago when he was suddenly and severely disabled. His close friends from the Aguascalientes Symphony Orchestra took great, around-the-clock care of him until the end. Those of us whom he visited as he drove around the USA will miss the intensive playing sessions, his jovial companionship and helpful attitude. The horn group will miss his dry humor and his expertise in numerous areas of our passion - music theory in general, horn playing technique, horn construction, repair. R.I.P.
