As I remember, that piece is pretty difficult to play. The 2nd movement
being particularly difficult to get in tune without any rehearsing. But I do
agree: it is a marvelous piece, that I loved to play.

Hear, hear. I have a tentative plan to make some kind of happening around a
computer at the university, and get something in the newspaper about it, so
any information in that regard would be appreciated. I thought our local
band could benefit a little with some attention (just getting the name
mentioned is something).
