Subj: Bottesini Andante & Variations now available.

I just uploaded the Bottesini Andante and Variations for flute,
clarinet and string quartet. After finishing something like this
I'm both satisfied and angry. Satisfied that it is a nice addition
to my collection and angry that I'll never be able to do it justice
without decreasing the tempo to between 1/3 and 1/2 of what
might be expected.

I would think from listening to it that it must have been a bit of
a show-stopper in the early nineteenth century.

Happy playing!

Somehow I've fouled up my playback system here at work so I wasn't
able both to download the midi files and to listen to them. But they
download all right. I can't seem to play anything else either, so I figure
that they're probably in good shape. Write if you have problems.
