Tom,

I've read the part on bass with Keith, Bob and Lori....at Kammermusic...and
it's great on bass. Keith played the basset and Bob and Lori on the soprano
clarinets. Lori and I traded parts and we did it again...fun!
Why don't you like the work with bass? I thought it was terrific. As someone
else has mentioned....it's a tough work and a good knowledge of the required
style is necessary for a good (not corny) performance.
