David Blumberg reported that this lick was described as the hardest in
the orchestral literature. I'm here to tell ya - the opening of "Porgy &
Bess" gives it a run for its money. 5 sharps, all articulated - who could
ask for anything more? Well, maybe the out-of-control conductor, 20
points over the printed tempo! (yes, we do it on A clarinets! Sorry, Dan!)
