A few things:

Bill and Dan, thanks for your kind words. There is a piano reduction, and
you can order it from any music supplier. I still think Nielsen is our best
concerto, but I'm glad you like the work. If we all agreed, the world
would be a dull place. Though "Gnarly Buttons" is difficult, the Nielsen
is more difficult. There is one tiny Nielsen quote in the first movement,
so faint you might not even notice.

The software is fairly universal, and they send it with the rented
parts. We got floppy disks, which we loaded into the Kurtzweil, and I
think you could load them into any synth with a floppy drive. Most have
them now. We had to re-load them every time we turned it off, though,
which was a pain, because it took about 20 minutes to set up. The synth
player forgot to turn her volume up for the cow in the second movement (it
came out soft unless at full volume and everything else was then too loud),
so you can barely hear it on the recording - ah, the joy of live
performances - nothing beats them!

Cheers,

Sean
