My wind orchestra in The Netherlands just performed Armenian Dances Part 1.
In my opinion, it was a great piece to play. I guess the judges liked it
also, because we took first place out of 14 wind orchestras in a Festival
in October. The clarinet part can be challenging in a couple of places.
Get those fingers relaxed and let her rip.
