This list is amazing!

Thank you to all of you that responsed so quickly to my von Koch question.

Based on the info obtained, I phoned and spoke with Mr. von Koch today.
According to him, my recording will be the world premiere recording, but
perhaps he does not know for sure.

Tomas, does Kjell Fageus speak English? If so I will call him to see
whether or not he recorded it already. And thank you again, Henrik, for
agreeing to contact Mr. von Koch to get more information for me.

For everyone's information, Mr. von Koch was born in 1910, so that makes
him 85 years old. And his English was quite good on the phone. Certainly,
infinitely better than my Swedish!

If you don't know this piece, you should. It's a great short work with
beautiful melodic material, a rhapsodic section, and a dancelike movement.
It displays an excellent understanding of what works well on the clarinet.
Great for recitals of all kinds.
