Having performed the Messiaen with the Buffalo New Music Ensemble
(now defunct) several years ago, I grew to really love the piece. The
one overriding difficulty is with the rhythm and meter. Messiaen's
approach to rhythm is such that no matter how well YOU know your part,
there is always something to confuse you in one of the other parts.
I hope your ensemble has scheduled plenty of rehearsal time together!
