Once upon a time, I didn't know this piece either, and thought it would be
a great piece to play with my high school band for our annual
"concerto"-type concert. Anyway, after ordering the music and reading
through it, I realized what a dud it was -- really not very interesting,
IMHO. Considering how much I love the orchestral works of R-K, I was
dreadfully disappointed!
