I will also be premiering a piece written by Sy Brandon, next week. This is also part of the grant opportunity thing with co-op press. I don't care if it's a way of promoting one's own music through a publishing company which that person might run, and own. this is a good way for music to be written for our instrument. Like Rommel, I too support Sy Brandon, as he has written a nice sonata for tuba and piano for me. He also tailored it to my liking when I requested change. I think that before one judges, they should try this for themselves, as there is absolutely no cost to the performer, besides some well spent time in the practice room learning new music.
