I performed this is in a concert tour of around 10 concerts.....i must say......every single time was nerve wrecking...you come in on the high A, which is just scary for intonation if the reed is not doing the job on that day...then you have the problem of having to do it expressively in one breath...and those downward slurs...perfect legato and an extremely flexible reed is required...i hit it spot on maybe 4 out of 10 times....something different happens every single time! I am not professional, but i am sure i can say this on behalf of people who are, that if one is going to perform this, a lot and a lot of disciplined preparation is to be done!
