Re: Repertoire ideas asap

Might want to take a look at Paul Harvey's "Three Etudes on Gershwin Themes" sometimes referred to as "Suite on Themes of Gershwin." Runs about seven and a half minutes give or take. Subtle, sly fragmentary references to three Gershwin themes embedded in three movements that have a cadenza-like feel. The last movement, based on "It Ain't Necessarily So," features some demanding pyrotechnics and —yes—THAT glissando shmear.

It's available at: http://www.luybenmusic.com/clcat.asp. There's also at least one recording that I know of on the Chandos label with Gervase de Peyer. Wonderfully witty and fey!
