 Get to play contra solo in world premiere!
Author: Lobo

I found out this week that the Indiana WInd Symphony, with whom I play, will be premiering a piece of music on our May 19, 2007 concert. The conductor told us that there are great solos for timpani and contrabass clarinet in it. I haven't heard the piece or seen the part, so I don't know what I'm in for yet, but I'm somewhat excited about it. I've asked him to send me a copy of the part as soon as he has it so I can begin practicing well ahead of time.

It's probably not often that an amateur, who will only have been playing an instrument for less than a year and a half, gets a big solo in the premiere of a composition. (Well, I've been playing bass clarinet for much longer.) Wish me luck. I'll keep you updated.

Good luck and enjoy Lobo, is it for an Eb or Bb contra?

Lobo, Congratulations!

The Indiana Wind Symphony-- any connection the University or with WoodWindiana publications? (Excellent line of clarinet works.)

Keep us posted what the work is, and how it goes, okay? (I never knew until about a year ago that the lowest notes on the contra are lower than the tuba.)
