Well....it is rather contemporary sounding. If you get my drift. I have
a copy of it on my lap right now and am trying to remember what it sounds
like (haven't played it in awhile). The hardest parts for me are some of
the the
cadenzas (64th notes at a presto tempo) and the range needed (the last
movement goes op to super high C). I'm not sure about difficulty for
orchestra. I'm planning to play it for a concerto competition this summer.

On the subject of a recording, a band director that came up for all
southeast said that he had heard a recording (although he since he was
part of the music department at some university it may have meen a
private recording).

Hope the prattle of a high school student helps

P.S. I have a quick question, what's the difference between a "growl" and
flutter tounging, thanks
