Hi Tony,

I had the pleasure of hearing this work over the weekend while listening
to the Swiss Classical Radio station on the web. I had never heard this
work before and loved it.

I have a question about Thomas Friedli if you can remember. It sounded
to me like he may have been playing on a German bore clarinet, but I
could be wrong. I know that Switzerland is one of those few countries
where clarinetist can play on the French Boehm, Reform-Boehm, and even
the German system clarinet. Do you remember what type of clarinet he
performed this work on. I was especially drawn to his wonderful, lively
tone which seemed to be fully of energy.

Great recording by the way, any idea where it may still be available for
sale?

Tom Henson

Orchestral Parts and Score

Thomas Friedli and I made a recording of this for Claves in the 1980s
(he played it, I conducted the ECO), and though we had orchestral parts
there was never a score -- I had to make do with a piano reduction.
There were a considerable number of errors in the material which we had
to correct on the fly, using our collective judgement.

Faced with the same problem today, we would probably produce a score on
a computer before starting work -- though I have to say that 'parallel
debugging' with talented players can be quite efficient;-)=20

If you contact Thomas by some means (I have only an out-of-date number)
he may be able to help with the material, at any rate, supposing the NML
doesn't have it. Anyone here have a contact number?

Tony
