Good luck with your performance! I wish I could be there but, of course, I'll be busy making the doughnuts...
I'm glad someone else noticed that Carpenters quote. One of my students just did this piece on his junior recital last semester and it is the first time I'd heard the whole piece. That quote is really unmistakable. I'd be curious to know the story myself, if there is one. Which horn are you using? I can't decide if this is a contrabass or bass tuba concerto. I can see strengths and weaknesses on both sides of the issue.
Break a leg!
