This is a new piece that has not been premiered yet. The world premiere
will take place with Leonard Slatkin and the National Symphony this
October 2002. Mr. Stoltzman just got back from Finland and meeting with
the composer. I just got a look at the new piece today, and I think it
looks great! Very lyrical, beautiful writing for the instrument, etc...
Can't tell you any more until after the premiere!

Best Wishes,
Michael Norsworthy
