There is a recording of the Persichetti Parable XIII on Composers
Recording Society (8424), performed by John Russo. CRS is either in
Philadelphia or SW New Jersey - maybe someone can help with an exact
address. Also, in R Gilbert's Clarinetists Discography III, there is a
recording by "Sigel" on Mark Records, MES 38085.

I've played this piece, and it is fun (and not as difficult as it looks).
