I never thought I knew that much WE repertoire, but I've also played this
piece, as a "guest performer" with the UA Symphonic Band (they
didn't have their own Eb clar. player at the time). It really is pretty
neat, and not too difficult either. I seem to recall, however, that the
parts were difficult to obtain, and we may have borrowed photocopies of
parts from another school.
